Facebook to notify users while sharing more than 90 days old content

Social networking giant Facebook is globally rolling out a notification screen that will let users know when news articles they are about to share are more than 90 days old, a move aimed at empowering users make informed decisions about the content they share.

“When we ask people what kind of news they want to see on Facebook, they continually tell us they want information that is timely and credible…we’re starting to globally roll out a notification screen that will let people know when news articles they are about to share are more than 90 days old,” Facebook said in a statement.

In 2018, Facebook had added a context button to provide information about the sources of articles in News Feed, it added.
