How can people put a spotlight on the people who are running or "contributing" the most to groups, and how accurate the information is?
Found myself doing a startpage.com search for "determine group owners" - found a funny line during that search.
So this article points out that fbook has removed a bunch that were gaming this kind of thing for profit - but what about those who are using groups and people's kneejerk sharing reactions for other reasons?
I'd like to see one click/tap/hover to show who exactly adds the most content to any group, what affiliations / funding they may have, how many apparent real world connections they have to other people in my state and country - some important info like this.
Mainly to help others.
I logged into fbook for the first time in 6 months and poked around. Mostly it's better than it was a year ago, but I noticed a couple of "friends" who were sharing sensational political type stuff, and the info in the memes or infographics or whatever they are called seems to be mostly not true.
I'd love to have a truth meter for each graphic, but also each group, and for the top X% of each group - so people can make better decisions about what things they repost / share.
It's one thing to post things tongue on cheek or whatever, but I get the feeling people re-posting things they believe are true, there must be a better way to show these people that they are sharing stuff from a group who is aligned with "insert-whatever-ideology-here" - and the stuff shared within the group appears to be 60% untrue.
I thought about unfollowing / defriending a few people just not see the bad things they are sharing, but that wouldn't really help anyone, in fact I think it would just change their opinion about me and not give them any info about why they may be losing "friends".
There's got to be more ways to add more transparency there.
