In the days following the US election on Nov. 3, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly approved an emergency change to the social network’s algorithm to show authoritative news more prominently in people’s news feeds. The move was made to reduce the spread of election misinformation that was going viral on the social network, according to a report Tuesday from The bioreports. 

Facebook reportedly increased the weight of an internal ranking it assigns to publishers called “news ecosystem quality” scores, or N.E.Q scores. This resulted in a visibility spike for mainstream publishers like Bioreports, The bioreports and NPR, according to the Times, and reduced the visibility of sites like Breitbart and Occupy Democrats.

During an employee meeting the week after the election, some Facebook workers asked if the “nicer news feed” could stay, according to the Times.

It’s unclear if or when the algorithm change will be reverted. Facebook didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. 

The internet was flooded with misinformation following the US presidential election. President Donald Trump has made repeated false claims that the election was stolen in social media posts, prompting Twitter to slap warning labels on multiple posts. Additionally, baseless claims of election fraud from a variety of sources have also appeared on Facebook, Twitter and Facebook. 

More to come.
