Facebook has recently begun to add some level of fact-checking to Facebook and Instagram content. When a post contains false content, it is flagged, and you can see why the content was labeled as potentially false.
Further, when you see posts from Facebook, you can click the “i” for some basic information on why you are seeing a given ad or post.

Twitter has also been forced to respond to public pressure by implementing basic fact-checking tools and complying with community standards. Twitter labeled manipulated media video and content earlier this year. During the COVID crisis, for example, Twitter implemented a policy of labeling content that contradicts authoritative public health sources and then providing links to the authoritative sources.
Twitter will also flag posts that contain false information about elections or election policy. Trump’s tweet about mail-in ballots is labeled “Get the facts about mail-in ballots” and includes a link to objective, official sources.
Tweets that are determined to glorify violence or harm will be made inaccessible.
