It's really a great approach that they're taking. I do think classification of "True" is very difficult, although "Disputed" seems reasonable. For instance, if I wrote an article saying I was a billionaire, I'd assume this would eventually receive the "Disputed" label. Articles not marked as "Disputed" are clearly not necessarily "True".


I prefer "disputed" over marking something "false" if Facebook isn't doing the fact checking itself.

But I personalky would prefer Facebook simply make a statement that you can't believe everything you read, on the internet or not.
