Facebook announced Thursday it is taking steps to combat the spread of anti-vaccine information by reducing the distribution of misinformation and relying on organizations that “have publicly identified verifiable vaccine hoaxes.”

The company intends to provide users with authoritative information on the controversial topic, Monika Bickert, vice president of global policy management said in a statement.

"If a group or Page admin posts this vaccine misinformation, we will exclude the entire group or Page from recommendations, reduce these groups and Pages' distribution in News Feed and Search, and reject ads with this misinformation," Bickert explained.
