I have no clue why anyone takes this seriously or is concerned about this. I have seen maybe three fact-checks during my lifetime on Facebook. That was a long long time ago. I disagreed with two of them and I am not sure if the third one said anything interesting.

Is there a population somewhere I am not aware of, who believes everything they see on Facebook, who will now be ruined by this change?

I don't care about Facebook, but Messenger and Marketplace I cannot replace them at all for the moment :-/

stop upvoting "news" that only ends up giving more visibility to these clowns

I think Facebook is popular enough, that this kind of news is actually damaging...
