I think it is falling short on fact-checking misinformation and disinformation. Facebook has recently taken a stance to not show an alert for content that could be misleading. It may not change everyone's opinion, but it would be a step in the right direction to have public figures be fact-checked. The anti-vaccination movement may not be a thing if fact-checking had been in place when that gained traction.
