Is Medium Letting COVID-19 Misinformation Flourish?
- The Verge, Wednesday, April 15, 2020 9:57 AM
The Verge is accusing Medium of allowing false and misleading related to the health crisis to flourish on its platform. Specifically, “The decision to curate some content -- to hire professional journalists and promote verified articles -- has made it harder to tell fact from fiction on the platform,” it writes. “While user-generated pieces now have a warning at the top telling users the content isn’t fact-checked, they look otherwise identical to those written by medical experts or reporters.”
