Hoaxes, misinformation and offensive content are one of the main problems that Facebook faces due to the controversy that constantly surrounds the publications that are displayed in its users' newsfeed. As one more step to try to avoid them, Facebook will try giving users more control over their posts with new content controls.

As Facebook has explained : “ People can now increase or decrease the amount of content they see from their friends, family, groups and the pages they are connected to, as well as the topics they are interested in in their news preferences . ”
With the new content controls, users will be able to choose favorite profiles whose content will take precedence in their newsfeed. They will also be able to stop following pages, people and topics from a central space, as well as pause tracking posts from users and pages to take a break from this type of content, without stopping following them forever.
