Facebook plans to label posts ‘more aggressively’: Nick Clegg

SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook Inc will “much more aggressively” label posts meant to manipulate or mislead US voters in the lead-up to November’s presidential election, said Nick Clegg, a top company official. “We’re now going to do this much more forcefully between now and November the third,” Clegg, Facebook’s vice president for global affairs and communications, said Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources.”

Facebook’s stepped-up efforts at content-flagging are being done in conjunction with the Washington based Bipartisan Policy Center.
