Facebook algorithm promotes nepverhaal

- Three days after Facebook had announced that the editors would lay off track trending topics section of the site, the company has made a significant blunder. The algorithm replaces the editors promoted a fake news story on the Fox News reporter Megyn Kelly.

The story about Kelly claimed that she was fired from the conservative station because she secretly is a Hillary Clinton supporter. Because the algorithm relies on the number of articles and posts about a subject shot the story about Kelly up on the list, as understood TechCrunch sources on Facebook. Thus conferred Facebook credibility to the nepverhaal.

Earlier this weekend went even wrong. An article describing a term of abuse used in the header and a video of a man who masturbated with a hamburger from McDonald's surfaced through the system.
