With two questions, Facebook is deciding the future of news

One day soon, Facebook may ask you two seemingly straightforward questions that could decide the future of news on your feed.

1. “Do you recognize the following websites?” (Yes/No)

2. “How much do you trust each of these domains?” (Entirely/A lot/Somewhat/Barely/Not at all).

These are, in fact, some of the actual questions, written by teams at Facebook.

The questions stem from a decision by Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s CEO, who said last week that he’s going to seek the wisdom of the crowd — that is, the 2 billion monthly users of his service — to determine which media organizations are writing honest and trustworthy stories worthy of appearing in your feed.
