Trust Indicators let you know more about a publisher on Facebook.
Facebook’s latest attempt at fighting fake news is through ‘Trust Indicators’ and joining a collaborative effort with the Trust Project.

In a recent announcement the company introduced Trust Indicators: these appear at the top of articles published on Facebook and allow users to gather further information about the publisher, including their policies on fact-checking, ethics, and corrections.

The trust indicators were developed by the Trust Project, an “international consortium of news organizations collaborating to use transparency to build a more trustworthy and trusted press,” launched today and primarily funded by Google and Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist.
