Facebook recently said that it will soon limit the posts, which will not contain the truth. Monica Bickert, Facebook’s global president, wants content post-authentication. She believes that if the posts shared on the platform are authentic. Then this can create a better sharing environment on Facebook. We do not want people to use Facebook to misrepresent. We want to know who they are and what they are doing here.
