Facebook is ramping up its efforts to fight the war on fake news.
The company announced in a news release that it is rolling out new features on the social network to help prevent people from being duped.
First, the company is making it simple to report a bogus story on Facebook. Users just have to click the carrot in the right corner of a post, go through the motions and mark it as a fake news story.
What's more, Facebook has launched a program that works with fact checking organizations. Stories in question, either spotted by other signals or reported by the community, will be sent to them for review.
If they find the story is fake, it will appear flagged on Facebook.
People who go to share the disputed story will also get a warning. Users will still able to share the content if they want - but at least they'll know what they are spreading may not be true.
Facebook says those flagged stories could also affect where they show up in the news feed.
