Facebook will show pop-ups before you share articles about COVID-19


By adding an extra layer of context, Facebook is hoping to slow the spread of outdated or less credible information (official health organizations like the WHO are exempted from the notifications.) “The notification will help people understand the recency and source of the content before they share it,” Facebook writes in an update.
