What triggers it

“Content that has been debunked as "False, Altered, or Partly False" by non-partisan, third-party fact-checking organizations”

How to fix it
Do not repost debunked clips or claims; verify before posting.
Good to know
Watch for reposts of widely debunked clips or claims. 'Missing Context' ratings get a label but usually no reduced distribution. In the US, Community Notes replaced fact-checking and Meta said it would stop demoting fact-checked content.
