If the news you post is old or new, Facebook will tell you

Have you ever read a post on Facebook but then discover that the news was out of date? This will not happen anymore, because this social network has launched a new function to prevent this problem. Yes, Facebook will notify you if you want to post old posts. This way you will know whether what you are currently sharing or what happened is news for months or years.
This comes after extensive research in which Facebook realized that the dates of article publication were important, because it helps users determine what to read, who to trust, and above all, the things that should be shared on the profile.

Facebook Search Now Finds Public Posts—So Hide Yours | WIRED

Facebook has announced a new tool that will let users know when a news story is relevant. This is possible, because Facebook will now feature 90-day-old news.
  However, what will happen to the news that is more than 3 months old? Well, the solution Facebook has found is that now, a new notification screen will appear telling the user that what they are about to share is an article that was officially published 3 months or more ago.

This is very significant, because fake news typically occurs in times of crisis or conflict, misleading the public and causing more situations. What Facebook wants is for us to learn the news is new or old.
