You won't just see extra articles, either. Su noted the feature provides a way for Facebook to give extra context to what you're seeing — like information from fact checkers.。

"These additional articles, which appear for topics many people are talking about on Facebook, will appear in a unit below the link. That should provide people easier access to additional perspectives and information, including articles by third-party fact-checkers."。

Facebook has experimented with flagging stories that have been disputed by fact checkers and rolled out a tool to try to help its users identify bad information. It also launched the "Facebook Journalism Project," joined the "News Integrity Initiative," and teamed with Google on a project to verify and debunk information online. 。
