The Facebook algorithm is about to change again (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You Facebook news feed is about to change.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recently, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook was reverting to its roots as a site for online socialising.<\/p>\n

\"SamsungNew Galaxy S9 leak reveals Samsung\u2019s final secrets<\/a><\/p>\n

The site is taking steps to push more personal content \u2013 so you may be more likely to see your friend Sarah\u2019s holiday snaps, rather than breaking news.<\/p>\n

That said, the site is also requesting data from users to discover which news sources people trust and want to see posts from.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second major tweak to Facebook\u2019s algorithm announced this month.<\/p>\n

Here is what we know about the update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Facebook is taking another step to try to make itself more socially beneficial, saying it will boost news sources that its users rate as trustworthy in surveys.<\/p>\n

In a blog post and a Facebook post from CEO Zuckerberg, the company said it is surveying users about their familiarity with and trust in news sources.<\/p>\n

This data will influence what others see in their news feeds, Zuckerberg added.<\/p>\n

The social-media giant, a major source of news for users, has struggled to brush off an uproar over fake news and Russian-linked posts, alleged to influence the 2016 US elections, on its platform.<\/p>\n

The company has slowly acknowledged its role in that foreign interference.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg has said his goal for this year is to fix Facebook, whether by protecting against foreign interference and abuse or by making users feel better about how they spend time on Facebook.<\/p>\n

So, the company is set to try to have users see fewer posts from publishers, businesses and celebrities, and more from friends and family.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg said because of that, news posts will make up 4% of the news feed, down from 5% today.<\/p>\n

Facebook says it will start prioritising news sources deemed trustworthy in the US and then internationally. It says it has surveyed a \u2018diverse and representative sample\u2019 of US users and next week it will begin testing prioritising the news sources deemed trustworthy.<\/p>\n

Publishers with lower scores may see a drop in their distribution across Facebook.<\/p>\n

More: Tech<\/a><\/h3>\n

\u2018There\u2019s too much sensationalism, misinformation and polarisation in the world today. Social media enables people to spread information faster than ever before, and if we don\u2019t specifically tackle these problems, then we end up amplifying them.<\/p>\n

\u2018That\u2019s why it\u2019s important that News Feed promotes high quality news that helps build a sense of common ground,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n

Of course, there are worries that survey-takers will try to game the system, or that they just will not be able to differentiate between high-quality and low-quality news sources \u2013 an issue made evident by the spread of many fake-news items in the past few years.<\/p>\n

Zuckerberg says that some news organisations \u2018are only broadly trusted by their readers or watchers, and others are broadly trusted across society even by those who don\u2019t follow them directly\u2019.<\/p>\n
