react-share: Facebook share quotes don't work

As title suggests, passing in the quotes prop doesn’t work anymore. hashtag prop is still working. Please advise

It was working up until recently for me, and then it just stopped working. My guess is that the API changed from FB’s end. Here is a sample to reproduce the problem: https://codesandbox.io/s/prod-frog-3cec86?file=/src/App.js

I ran into this same issue, and dug a bit deeper into documentation on this. This issue is caused by Facebook silently deprecating the quote feature: https://developers.facebook.com/support/bugs/734680371318112/?comment_id=743056360480513

Looking through the Share Dialog documentation, we’re told that it’s disabled for Facebook URLs, but even when testing non-FB URLs (i.e. google.com) in their FB.ui section, it fails.
