Instagram has begun using image recognition and other tools to identify posts and stories that may contain misinformation and send them to Facebook’s fleet of fact-checking partners for review. If they’re determined to be false, Instagram will not recommend the posts to new users in the Explore tab or hashtag pages, as first reported by Poynter. But the Facebook-owned image-sharing network won’t remove the misleading posts; nor will it demote them in users’ main feeds, leaving millions of people vulnerable to misinformation.
