Facebook is on the list of general purpose platforms and social networks most often consulted in seeking views on products and services of all kinds. At this time, you probably thought that there are much more popular services when it comes to hotels and restaurants, such as TripAdvisor. But this is of course key, the most popular sites are the specialized ones. However, if we talk about something more general, the list will shrink significantly and Facebook knows how to use a large number of users who use the service regularly.

In addition, many businesses of all kinds have a Facebook page on which, in addition to providing information and a means of contact with usersthey also allow them to share their views, pictures, answers in official publications and more. The service is also used by users who have already stopped using Facebook as a social network in terms of obtaining information about products and services. In addition, we find unofficial sites and groups with more information.

This is generally positive for users because it allows them to gather a lot of information before purchasing a product or concluding a contract for any type of service. Searching for opinions is one of the most common uses of the Internet, and the more information and real opinions you have, the more accurate the global rating we will have. Yes indeed the key factor in this equation is the truth of the opinions expressed.

Right now, Meta wants to focus on Facebook, and as we can read on her blog, Meta has updated the community comment policy in the United States on Explicitly ban fake and paid comments on Facebook. As a result, users will not be able to post false reviews, usually aimed at gaining benefits from award-winning companies or as part of marketing campaigns that regularly use this type of content.

Meta will remove those reviews that violate the policy and reserves the right to suspend access to some or all of its products. Recidivists could face the suspension or permanent banning of their Facebook accounts, and businesses could lose access to product lists and labels.

This is not an easy task because in many cases it is difficult to determine whether a review is legitimate or untrue, but it is undeniable that any action in this regard should be celebrated.
