Facebook will alert you to articles over 3 months old

Looking at an article on Facebook and suddenly discovering that it was written a year ago? Facebook from now on will warn you if you want to share an article that is older than 3 months.

It has happened to everyone. You look at the activity of a friend or relative on Facebook and you see them sharing a seemingly up-to-date piece of news with a nice and shaky headline, and when you open the link you discover that it was written three years ago and contains outdated information.

For these cases from today Facebook is launching a feature which will warn users before they share an article older than 90 days. When you click the share button on an old article, you'll see a notification. Still not clear if it works with simple as well και επικόλληση ενός συνδέσμου. Φυσικά, αρκετές φορές οι παλιές ειδήσεις είναι ακόμα σχετικές, οπότε το Facebook θα σας επιτρέπει να μοιραστείτε το άρθρο, αν θέλετε, αφού βέβαια κάνετε κλικ στην .

Facebook mentions that “the timeliness of an article is an important part that helps them to decide what to read, trust and share and that they are concerned about old news misrepresenting current events”.

Think about all the headlines you read and while you do not click on them, your perception of current events is probably influenced by what you see people sharing in their streams. Many readers do not sit down to read an article line by line but are content with the title, let alone the date.

The Facebook is considering other types of warning tags, such as provision y content related to articles related to COVID-19, including background on the source of the link and a link to COVID-19 Information Center for more reliable health information.

Twitter recently implemented a which warned users before sharing an article they haven't read.
