Facebook adds new page tab called Page Quality

Facebook is continuing its efforts to cut down on misuse. Just this week, the platform added a new page feature called Page Quality. Page Quality will help provide page administrators with insights on possible rule violations found on their page. Facebook has stated that “[Through the Page Quality tab] people who manage a Page will see when we remove certain content that goes against our Community Standards and when we reduce the distribution of posts that have been rated false by a third-party fact-checker.”  Ultimately, the new tab is meant to educate page managers on what they are doing wrong and help them avoid getting shut down.

Facebook now lets you create your own petitions

Facebook users can now add titles, descriptions, and images to their petitions. The goal is to help local organizations make their petitions go viral and gain more support.

As this feature continues to roll out through the United States we will keep an eye out.
