\n SAN FRANCISCO \u2013 Facebook will start labeling Russian, Chinese and other state-controlled media organizations and later this summer will block any ads from such outlets that target US users, it said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s biggest social network will app<\/a>ly the label to Russia\u2019s Sputnik, Iran\u2019s Press TV and China\u2019s Xinhua News<\/a>, according to a partial list Facebook provided. The company will apply the label to about 200 pages at the outset.<\/p>\n

Facebook will not label any US-based news organizations, as it determined that even US government-run outlets have editorial independence, Nathaniel Gleicher, Facebook\u2019s head of cybersecurity policy, said in an interview.<\/p>\n

Facebook, which has acknowledged its failure to stop Russian use of its platforms to interfere in the 2016 US presidential election, has since stepped up its defenses and imposed greater transparency requirements for pages and ads on its platforms.<\/p>\n

The company announced plans last year to create a state media label but is introducing it amid criticism over its hands-off treatment of misleading and racially charged posts by US President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

The new measure comes just months ahead of the November US presidential election.<\/p>\n

Under the move, Facebook will not use the label for media outlets affiliated with individual political figures or parties, which Gleicher said could push \u201cboundaries that are very, very slippery.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we want to do here is start with the most critical case,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Geng Shuang told reporters during a daily briefing in Beijing on Friday that social media companies should not selectively create obstacles for media agencies.\u201dWe hope that the relevant social media platform can put aside the ideological bias and hold an open and accepting attitude towards each country\u2019s media role,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Facebook is not the first company to take such action.<\/p>\n

YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc\u2019s Google, in 2018 started identifying video channels that predominantly carry news items and are funded by governments. But critics charge YouTube has failed to label some state news outlets, allowing them to earn ad revenue from videos with misinformation and propaganda.<\/p>\n

In a blog post, Facebook said its label would appear on pages globally, as well as on News Feed posts within the United States.<\/p>\n

Facebook also said it would ban US-targeted ads from state-controlled entities \u201cout of an abundance of caution\u201d ahead of the November presidential election. Elsewhere, the ads will receive a label.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
