Facebook announced Wednesday that it’s creating a resource for users to see if they’ve interacted with content created by a firm with alleged ties to the Kremlin.
The portal will show people if they have “liked or followed” the Internet Research Agency, a Russian company, which many say tries to influence the larger public in favor of the Russian government.
“It is important that people understand how foreign actors tried to sow division and mistrust using Facebook before and after the 2016 US election,” the company wrote in a blog post titled “Continuing Transparency on Russian Activity.” “That’s why as we have discovered information, we have continually come forward to share it publicly and have provided it to congressional investigators. And it’s also why we’re building the tool we are announcing today.”
The new feature will be available in Facebook’s Help Center by the end of 2017, and is a move addressing what the company just now sees as a Russian problem.
