According to a report by TechCrunch Facebook will now automatically remove links of websites that include plagiarized content from their user’s News Feed. Since the past few years, the leading social media platform has been trying to control its feed and provide users with content that are relevant to their interest.
On an updated 2017 blog, Facebook announces that they have restructured their AI system, which will now detect websites that publish reproduced content without permission. The blog post also includes the statement that the company is also “adjusting their Publisher Guidelines accordingly.”
"Starting today, we’re rolling out an update so people see fewer posts that link out to low-quality sites that predominantly copy and republish content from other sites without providing unique value.", Facebook explained in its updated blog post.
