| title = Facebook has introduced another half-baked effort to fight fake news

| org = ''Quartz

| url = https://qz.com/1244088/facebook-has-introduced-another-half-baked-effort-to-fight-fake-news/

| date = 4 April 2018

| quote = It’s also unclear which outlets get the “i” icon, and which do not. For example, InfoWars, a media company that is a well-known purveyor of conspiracy theories, does not appear to have the icon on its posts. That means the user would have to leave Facebook to determine the source’s trustworthiness, which defeats the purpose of the feature. Other right-wing conspiracy sites, like Gateway Pundit, also do not have an “i” icon. Both of these sites have Wikipedia pages.
