So what. This isn't a Facebook problem. It's an education and gullibility problem. There should be a class in the every high schools history department the explains propaganda and gossip.

It wouldn't help. Facebook and other social media outlets are geared to giving you more of what you click. Happen to click a few far Z-Wing posts? You'll get more. Once a pattern develops they feed you what you click most so that you'll stay engaged. No amount of high schooling will prepare people for that. The _only_ way to fight it is to actively disengage.
The insidious thing is: if you post a rebuttal to some assertion, all Facebook sees is that you engaged with that content. So it will show you more and more. You will become exhausted with the arguments and when your guard is down: ads
This is most certainly a problem Facebook created, however. Blaming the public for "not knowing how to use nukes better" while still building and cramming nukes in their inboxes is just ridiculous and it's time for this charade to end.
Obviously, because students pay full and complete attention in high school history class. And remember what they learned for the rest of their lives. /s
Also this doesn't help the majority of the population that is older than high school age.
