Facebook scraps News Feed censorship trial amidst outrage

Facebook has bowed to outrage by calling an end to a controversial experiment in which it deliberately blocked official news reports to members in six countries.
The trial, which was running in Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Bolivia, Cambodia, Serbia and Slovakia, was pulled following concerns it actually increased the distribution of fake news and disinformation on the platform. 
Citizens in these countries saw posts from official news organisations removed from their own news feeds
