Facebook used to have a feature where when you wrote a comment to a news article, it would give you suggestions of 3 "suggested" response links that you could post in response. 99% of the time when I started writing a response to a news story I knew to be false, the top recommended link was a Snopes article debunking the story. I could just click on that, and be done with it. So they already had an engineering fix for this problem, and it worked GREAT. Why did they take it out? Probably because the metrics showed that stuff like this killed conversations, and the virality of people reposting stories. Nobody is going to Share a news post when one of the top comments is a big Snopes "FALSE" preview. Some engagement metrics went down and they took it away.
