What you need to know about the latest Facebook changes

Facebook recently announced that they will make changes to its news feed so that media content will no longer be as widespread as always.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement that Facebook’s goal is to connect people and have them share stories and memories amongst their Facebook friends.

“Based on this, we’re making a major change to how we build Facebook.

“I’m changing the goal I give our product teams from focusing on helping you find relevant content to help you have more meaningful social interactions.

“As we roll this out, you’ll see less public content like posts from businesses, brands, and media.”
