Facebook is taking the big bro/sis role in making sure you ‘behave’ on social media. With misinformation and the spreading of fake news growing, the social media platform has announced that it will start testing a new feature, which will guilt-trip you into reading any article before you share it.
In case you’re sharing an article after just reading its title, Facebook will show a prompt, nudging you to open it.
This initiative comes after Twitter started similar testing in June 2020, and showed an encouraging result.
You can still share without reading it by tapping on the “Continue Sharing” button, but let’s try not to. Let’s be responsible and stop the spread of false information.
