Even Facebook has an edit feature for a long time now with a revision history of posts/comments. No issues of abuse. This isn't rocket science.

Facebook has had abuse from pages that got likes, and then later changed their title and purpose.

You can do this on any social media though.

Facebook posts aren't as public-facing by default. AFAIK there's no FB equivalent to the retweet, in that the content of a FB share is not quite the same as the relation between a retweet and the original tweet.

You can do a share with zero added text = retweet You can also do a share of a link post keeping "the original post"
