Facebook will highlight hoaxes in users' newsfeeds

Facebook has announced plans to crack down on spam and hoaxes in the newsfeed, with a note highlighting ‘false information’ when enough people flag the link as a hoax.
The social network announced the planned changes in a blog post co-written by Software Engineer Erich Owens and Research Scientist Udi Weinsberg, who explained that Facebook users had told them they wanted to see less hoaxes and misleading news in their feeds.
