Facebook's Algorithmic Bug Subjected Content To Integrity Risks

A group of Facebook rebranded Meta Platforms Inc FB engineers identified a "massive ranking failure" that exposed up to half of all News Feed views to "integrity risks" over the past six months, the Verge reports.
In October, the engineers first noticed the issue when a sudden surge of misinformation began flowing through the News Feed.
The News Feed distributed the posts instead of suppressing posts flagged by fact-checkers, spiking views by up to 30% globally.
Facebook's systems failed to demote nudity, violence, and even Russian state media despite pledging to stop recommending in response to the Ukraine crisis.
Reports recently quoted Meta losing out on user time to competition while its data center plans faced resistance in the Netherlands.
Price Action: FB shares traded higher by 0.67% at $223.84 in the premarket on the last check Friday.
