Facebook has stopped link preview editing as it says it's to stop the spread of misinformation. This will also affect third party tools, and the removal of the ability to alter link metadata, such as headline, description, and image from all link sharing entry points to Facebook helps stop false posts, the company said.

So now we're stuck with the first image FB grabs instead of the one we'd prefer. The og code doesn't always work as intended and the link preview edit was the work-around.

The Facebook Debugger still works. So if your link/post is buggered, fix it on your site then Facbook De-Bugger it. I did it a couple hours ago.
