There have been many changes on Facebook. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced a review and change in the content policy, the company has now taken another decision. Social media is full of fake and old news. On social media, many times people accidentally share old news or a post, but sometimes to mislead people, some people share the link of a news report of two to three years old with a new issue on social media. 

Facebook made a big change in content sharing for the past several years, there has been a lot of ruckus about the sharing of old news on Facebook. There are two problems with the sharing of old news, the first is that after sharing the old news, people accept it as breaking or new news and share it fast. The second problem is that old news sometimes promotes fake news because people start sharing that news by linking it to the new issue, whereas in reality, no issue is related to that news.

Facebook will now stop such news. If you share any news older than 90 days on Facebook, you will get a popup notification in which the date of publication of the news will be given and then you will be asked about sharing and cancelling. If you share old news, Facebook will give you an alert, after that it will be up to you whether you want to share that news or not. Facebook has said about this feature that what a user will share on their timeline should be very important. With this feature, users will also get information about whether they want to share old news on their timeline.
