I actually verified this yesterday on my own FB acount.

Not sure if it's still happening, but you can test it if you make the post visible to only you and you wait ~5 minutes for that misinformation message to show up.

Even if the fact checker had some kind of point, I don't know how labeling an authoritative source as "false information" helps anyone understand anything just because part of the information might be outdated.

Nevertheless, the level of carelessness upon which this mechanism seems to have been built upon is an embarrassment.
