Suggestion Description
Add a "Fake" or "Hoax" Button when an article is posted
I see so many fake/hoax/misinformation or satire being mistaken for real articles on fb. When I see them, I post the snopes or equivalent debunking page and discover that the people posting simply didn't realise.
If there was a button I could press to indicate an article as such (and perhaps a category (Fake/Hoax/Misinformation/Satire) and the option to provide a link to an article showing it as such e.g. on snopes), the data could be used so that when someone tries to post the same article on their wall, a message pops up saying "A number of users have said that this article may be [Fake/Hoax etc]. More details can be found at [link]. Do you still wish to post this article?"
Note that this should only appear when someone posts a link to an article, not when they just post some text.
