Designed to combat to the spread of misinformation on the platform, it warns users when they try to post fake stories.
The fact-checker is working for some U.S.-based users who tried to share a story that falsely asserted thousands of Irish people were brought to the United States as slaves.
The story entitled "The Irish slave trade -- the slaves that time forgot" was published by the Rhode Island blog Newport Buzz and widely shared ahead of St Patrick's Day on 17 March.
Attempts to share the story triggered a red alert in the pop up window stating that the article has been disputed by Snopes.com and the Associated Press.

It also links to Facebook's official help page and to the debunking articles from AP and Snopes.com.
If you ignore the warning, another pop-up asserts that the article's accuracy is "disputed by multiple, independent fact-checkers".
