Facebook ending News Feed experiment condemned as 'Orwellian' | Technology | The Guardian

 

 Facebook will end an experiment that removed professional news posts
from users’ News Feed in six countries, after months of criticism that
the “downright Orwellian” move was increasing fake news and
misinformation on the platform.

 The company created a separate feed called ‘Explore’ for so-called
public posts in Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Bolivia, Cambodia, Serbia and
Slovakia.
