Makes me wonder how many innocent folks are going to get caught up in this mess because AI flagged their content as misinformation.
My natural intelligence told me (10 months ago) to get my ass off of Facebook, because of the misinformation, crappy webdesign, lots of scripts people do not need and an algorithm that does exactly what they say they're fighting with the artificial intelligence (giving priority to paid posts with misinformation, for instance). If Facebook wants to stop misinformation, which they won't, they should stop with the data-selling for directed ads, which provide misinformation tailor-made.
Actually, I do not give a shit about it, because it is a clear signal to me that people still fall for bullshit, which says more about the people than the spreaders of said information. It's a bit like politics: people cuss on it, but they still vote for the incompetence and corruption.
