Have you ever made a cringeworthy mistake in a Facebook post?An Affair My Wife’s Friend 2 (2019) Don't lie, the answer is yes.
If you have a sense of shame, Facebook at least allows you to go back and correct your gaffe by editing the post, a feature that certain other social media networks still haven't added.
But evidence of your slip-up lived on with the tiny "Edited" label on the bottom of the post, signaling to your followers that you cared just enough to correct yourself on the internet. Sad.
Apparently, however, that's no longer the case. It seems that Facebook has removed the on-post edited label, making it much more difficult to know when someone actually took the time to fix their mistake.

Here's how the new editing looks, courtesy of my colleague Raymond Wong and his doubts about how cool the upcoming Nintendo Switch actually is.
His original post simply shared a link.

This raises one of the biggest ethical questions that has long plagued social media and the way we interact on the internet: Should we have the power to instantly, surreptitiously rewrite our wrongs to preserve our online image?
When asked about the change, Facebook reps acknowledged that this is a different editing system than it had before, but the change was made about a year ago. It appears that the rollout took some time to reach most users — or we just didn't notice when posts started changing without any acknowledgment.
