Facebook <\/a> announced Thursday that it would introduce a notification screen<\/a> warning users if they try to share content that\u2019s more than 90 days old. They\u2019ll be given the choice to \u201cgo back\u201d or to click through if they\u2019d still like to share the story knowing that it isn\u2019t fresh.<\/p>\n

Facebook acknowledged that old stories shared out of their original context play a role in spreading misinformation. The social media company said \u201cnews publishers in particular\u201d have expressed concern about old stories being recirculated as though they\u2019re breaking news.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past several months, our internal research found that the timeliness of an article is an important piece of context that helps people decide what to read, trust and share,\u201d Facebook Vice President of Feed and Stories John Hegeman wrote on the company\u2019s blog.<\/p>\n

The notification screen is an outgrowth of other kinds of notifications the company has experimented with recently. Last year, Instagram introduced a pop-up notification<\/a> to discourage its users from sharing offensive or abusive comments with a similar set of options, allowing them to click through or go back. The company said that its initial results with the experiment showed promise in shaping users toward better behavior.<\/p>\n

In a blog post announcing the new feature, Facebook said that it is now considering other kinds of notification screens to reduce misinformation, including pop-ups for posts about COVID-19 that would provide context about source links and steer users toward public health resources.<\/p>\n
