Facebook has created an educational guide to help users identify fake news

Looks like Facebook is turning that top space in your News Feed into something a little more useful than “It’s spring time!” or “Have a nice day!” In a blog post, the company said it will be adding alert to an “educational tool” when users log onto the service, which will provide tips for spotting fake news. Clicking this leads you to a Help Center page that lays out things to think about when considering whether what you’re reading is truthful.
