"One challenge in fighting misinformation is that it manifests itself differently across content types and countries," said a blog post from Facebook product manager Tessa Lyons.
"To address this, we expanded our test to fact-check photos and videos to four countries. This includes those that are manipulated (e.g. a video that is edited to show something that did not really happen) or taken out of context (e.g. a photo from a previous tragedy associated with a different, present day conflict)."
