This is a very interesting link to the countermeasures installed by Facebook. The concern that I have with these measures is that Facebook is relying very heavily on their users to report and make suggestions on what should be done about the reports. It's one thing to give your users the power to block people whose posts they would prefer not to view, and many people would consider that application a benefit. However, I worry that perhaps the flamer community could use this tool as a way to cyberbully. After all, there is a bit of content that can contribute towards fake news and suggesting banning people from Facebook is a very severe penalty suggestion coming from some random user rather than an admin. I would much rather have it as a potential fake news red flag for an admin to review rather than giving the users as much power as this seems to.
