>Seeing a disputed tag will make a user do what exactly?
A few years ago I added tags on my site, when people posted a satire link it'd say 'this is satire', fake news was the same etc there were 7 categories altogether covering hundreds of sites and links (satire site, potentially fake, malware, objectionable content, disreputable source, fake story, click bait).
I thought it was a fantastic idea because people would spend literally hours arguing over satire pieces (American site) but it backfired spectacularly.
I got accused of 'censorship' and 'who are you to say what's true or not', so I just dropped the idea. I still think it was great but end users hate that stuff, for some of them the entire reason they're on these sites is just to post and argue about that stuff.
So Facebook could never win doing the same, it just alienates their customer base.
