On: Facebook is rating the trustworthiness of its users on a scale from zero to one

[pnathan]

Before reading the article, I estimate that the technical detail is this:

a normalized statistical value is generated for a particular user's willingness to share fake news

after reading the article:

a normalized statistical value is generated for a particular user's willingness to report news they disagree with.

yeah, nothing to see here..... :-/

I'll write a note to the journalist, hopefully they can elide or contextualize this kind of thing in further articles.
