) will start labeling Russian, Chinese and other state-controlled media organizations, and later this summer will block any ads from such outlets that target U.S. users, it said on Thursday.

The world’s biggest social network will apply the label to Russia’s Sputnik, Iran’s Press TV and China’s Xinhua News, according to a partial list Facebook provided. The company will apply the label to about 200 pages at the outset. Facebook, which has acknowledged its failure to stop Russian use of its platforms to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, has since stepped up its defenses and imposed greater transparency requirements for pages and ads on its platforms.

In a blog post, Facebook said its label would appear on pages globally, as well as on News Feed posts within the United States.

Can they do that Fox News here in the US?

Facebook what about OANN and FoxNews

So only rumors are allowed then. Only epochetimes and voice of American is allowed and even bbc is quoting Epochetimes

Wow! Zuck is soooooo on top of this! Such morals and courage.

Facebook should add BBC, NYT Al Jazeera.... To that list. Facebook is just another propaganda tool of Washington

Was FoxNews included?

LOL.

It’s almost like they do selective labels when it benefits them

That should apply to Amazon and others too.

what about American German and British ones?

Neil Cavuto's 'I don't work for you, Mr. Trump' speech really saved Fox News from this one.

Now do CBCNews
