Like Twitter, Facebook now wants you to read articles before you share

Shares Social media giant, Facebook, has announced a new feature that will see users get a pop-up asking whether they have read an article that they intend to share. This feature, which takes effect today, was announced yesterday on Twitter.  Although the pop-up will prompt users to read the article, they can still share without reading it. Per The Verge, this feature will be rolled out to 6% of Android users worldwide.  This new feature borrows a leaf from Twitter which started testing a feature that prompts users to read an article before they share it. Individuals and governments have frequently accused Facebook of aiding the spread of fake news with its platforms, with 1,000 companies going as far as protesting by not advertising on the platform in July 2020.
