Facebook to label national origin of popular posts

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Facebook said Wednesday it will label posts from popular accounts with their geographic origin in an attempt to curb political misinformation by foreign-based pages that mimic legitimate groups and political parties.

That's an important step for people to vet their news, especially if it is a topic that is national instead of global. I wonder if the bot farms and trolls can get around this simply by VPNing onto a US server, or leasing a server in a U.S. cloud, and funneling their propaganda through those servers. I hope Facebook is doing more than just putting PR wallpaper on this problem.
