I have no clue why anyone takes this seriously or is concerned about this. I have seen maybe three fact-checks during my lifetime on Facebook. That was a long long time ago. I disagreed with two of them and I am not sure if the third one said anything interesting.
Is there a population somewhere I am not aware of, who believes everything they see on Facebook, who will now be ruined by this change?
The usual suspects of Gen Boomer and X that first preached to not believe anything on the internet and yet doing exactly that without an external fact check.
Personally for stuff I don't really care, I will always say "Allegedly (...)" before stating something a website says. If the stuff is important (to me or a peer) I might look harder into it.

stop upvoting "news" that only ends up giving more visibility to these clowns
I think Facebook is popular enough, that this kind of news is actually damaging...
