Facebook will combat COVID-19 misinformation more directly with notifications to users
Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Facebook will send notifications directly to users who like, share, or comment on COVID-19 posts that violate the company's terms of service, according to a report from Fast Company.
This new feature works like this: if a user interacts with a post that's later removed, Facebook sends a notification to the user telling them that the post was taken down. If the user clicks the notification, they'll be taken to a landing page with a screenshot of the post and a short explanation for why it was removed. The landing page will also feature links to COVID-19 educational resources and actions, like unfollowing the group that posted it.
