Lots of negativity and whataboutism in this thread (which I don’t disagree with), but this is still a good move.

Perfect, just in time to stop Russia from meddling with the 2016 election!

Great, now Putin will have absolutely no way whatsoever to spread his propaganda on Facebook!

I really struggle to see the point of these comments. It's a valid criticism to say it should've been done sooner or they should've done more, but doing something is better than doing nothing and also better late than never. So what are these commentors trying to achieve here other than applause and upvotes? This is one of the things my autistic brain has a hard time figuring out about social media. Is it just to say what's popular so people come and pat you on the back?

Or just talk to people? You don't really need a reason to share your thoughts and talk about things. That's the whole point of social media. I get that not everyone wants it that way but some including me do like it.
