Let’s say a given post is repeatedly triggering comments that contain links to Snopes, for instance, or that include words like hoax or debunked. Facebook’s algorithms could take that as a subtle sign that the post’s widespread engagement might be ill-gotten. It wouldnt have to censor the post—just treat it less like a viral sensation worthy of topping everyone’s feeds. The poster’s friends and family might still see it and have a chance to educate or disabuse him of the false information. But it would be far less likely to spread like fungus across the entire platform.
