Isn't there a simple solution to this? All News Sites need to do is block Facebook's indexing bots, except for on spider bait pages with only the limited content that the News Sites want to be shown on Facebook. Then as human Facebook users follow links to these bait pages they'll be automatically redirected to the News Site's real news article page.

FB? I don't understand that. Everything I read about FB just makes me detest them more. But that's me. I've always been odd. laugh.gif
