In contrast with most of the comments, I strongly support this change. Social media has been a tool for radicalization, and this is a potential solution worth trying. Will simply informing people that they're drifting beyond the Overton window could put a damper on the radicalization? I don't know, but I certainly hope so.

Your mistake is viewing "radicalization" as being driven purely by changes in communications media, as opposed to underlying socioeconomic and political developments which have been negative for the overwhelming majority of society. This isn't going to be handwaved away with Facebook dialog boxes.
