Information can be accurate or fake based on who said it?



Sure.

Orange man rushed out a shot. It must be bad.

Gray man said get the shot. It’s good.

I’m not saying that kind of “thinking” is valid, but it’s apparently widely accepted.

(I got the shot, but I can see why some people would have considerations)


I'm guessing the heuristics behind their text classification model, not if that's a valid assumption outside of the Facebook metaverse.

My guess would be that you could also figure out word salad to throw at their False Information model that would create false positives.


The context of a page can provide misleading implications. But "False / Fake" isn't the word I'd use for that, to be fair.
