Facebook Adding Labels to Posts

I can understand why Facebook would want to test out labeling posts so that users have a better understanding of what is legitimate news and what is not.  I wonder how effective such labeling will be, however, if news publications or companies may try to find ways around it.  I am also curious as to how this labeling will affect native ads that are usually more subtle, as they normally do not show a “sponsored” caption.
