No more mishmash in the timeline - sometimes a friend's post, then a piece of news, then advertising... this needs to be cleaned up!

Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg said in a conversation with Springer boss Mathias Döpfner published on Monday that the platform would like to place greater emphasis on “high-quality and trustworthy news”. License payments to the participating media are not excluded.

The timeline needs to be tweaked

In the video posted on Facebook on Monday, Mark Zuckerberg talks to Springer boss Mathias Döpfner about the future of technology and society.
It is therefore conceivable that in the future media content will no longer be displayed directly in the timeline, but in a separate area. At the same time, this content should also be of higher quality.

Facebook is interesting for publishers

Direct access to users is important for publishers and media. Döpfner explains in the conversation that Facebook can acquire licenses for high-quality media content within the framework of EU copyright law. This would also help all sides: Facebook offers higher quality content, the user can rely more on this content, and the media earns money from the content.

The plans are still in their early stages

However, one should not expect that these plans will be implemented in the near future. Zuckerberg emphasized that he would like to develop the implementation together with the industry.
