  • Patent number: 10783197
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving an indication that a user is interested in a content (e.g., newsfeed). Based on metadata associated with the content, a topic of the content and an entity associated with the content may be determined (e.g., a political candidate's position on gun control). One or more first entities (e.g., other political candidates) may be selected based on the entity associated with the content. The selected first entities may be different from the entity associated with the content. First contents associated with the first entities and topically related to the topic of the content may be selected (e.g., other candidates' positions on gun control). At least a portion of the first contents may be displayed with at least a portion of the content. The content and at least one of the first contents may have different sentiments toward the topic.

  • Publication number: 20190163794
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may receive, from a first user device, a request to post content on an online social network. In response, the system may generate contextual information associated with the content. The system may receive a content request from a second user device. The system may determine that the content is to be presented to the second user and send instructions configured to cause the second user device to display the content with an indicator indicating that contextual information is available. Upon detecting a first interest indicator representing that the content is being viewed, the second device may be instructed to transform the indicator into a contextual highlight. Upon detecting a second interest indicator representing user interest in the available contextual information, the second device may display the contextual information.
