News Facebook issues new warnings on North Korean propaganda pagesMove come amid broader steps to counter misinformation, though some accounts targeted have ambiguous ties to Pyongyang
Facebook on Thursday began placing warning notes on pages, posts, and advertisements by a number of North Korea-linked organizations, as part of a broader push against state-sponsored disinformation on the influential social media platform. Alongside prominent state-run media from Russia and China, outlets such as DPRK Today have begun to be labeled with information panels that state the content’s country of origin and a warning that the “publisher is wholly or partially under the editorial control of a state.” “This is determined by a range of factors, including but not limited to funding, structure and journalistic standards,” the warning reads. © Korea Risk Group.
