Facebook quietly tests fake news flagging

Signs of Facebook's much-anticipated war on fake news are
bubbling up into the newsfeeds of some users. The fake news
flag tests appear to have been around for over a week, though
seem to be vanishing as quickly as they appear. That behavior
is in line with the way Facebook regularly tests new product
features through limited, live rollouts to small swaths of its
massive user base.

The correct term is "Internet" NOT "internet" -- please don't
fall into the trap of using the latter. It's just plain wrong!
