The day has finally arrived – Facebook is now starting to disable the ability of all Pages to edit the previews of the links they post in the Page composer or API, with an exemption for some original publishers. A new tab in Page Publishing Tools for Link Ownership will let those exempted specify the web domain they own, and be authorised by Facebook to modify the previews of links to this domain.
