In this connection, Facebook is making changes to improve the quality of the information in the News Feed of its community as a whole.
In this connection, Facebook made two ranking updates last month with the purpose of reducing the posts with exaggerated or sensational health claims and those posts attempting to sell products/services based on health-related claims.
