Article link: https://wattsupwiththat.com/2021/12/09/bombshell-in-court-filing-facebook-admits-fact-checks-are-nothing-more-than-opinion/
Article highlights: So, in a court of law, in a legal filing, Facebook admits that its ‘fact checks’ are not really ‘fact’ checks at all, but merely ‘opinion assertions.’
This strikes me as public relations disaster, and possibly a looming legal disaster for Facebook, PolitiFact, Climate Feedback and other left-leaning entities that engage in biased “fact checking.”
Such “fact checks” are now shown to be simply an agenda to supress free speech and the open discussion of science by disguising liberal media activism as something supposedly factual, noble, neutral, trustworthy, and based on science.
FTFY: not really ‘fact’ checks at all, but merely ‘white genocidal Bolshevik pedophiles who want every Christian to die screaming'.
Yup, that's how I read it also.
If by "fact check" as "opinion" they really mean "psyop propaganda," then yes.
Hmmm.. sounds like admission of a sinking ship.
Or White Hat push
That is FRAUD.
no its ok as long as it derails the truth, right guys?? kind of fking crazy world we live in
You just lost social credit points for that post commrade. (/sarc)

And it serves them right.
Fuck off Prissy... I do and say and post what I want, when I want, how I want and you can't say/do a damn thing about it. Anal Retentive, or just a control freak?
(OOohhhhh, "0 post score,98 comment score" = fucking mouth with no substance)

ORANGE MAN BAD

"Ching chong your opinion is wrong" Mark Fuckerberg
Lmfao
I'm asserting my opinion, stay off of Facebook.
Problem solved!
Not everyone has forsaken the battlefield.
Fact checks = Lies = Propaganda
As opinions, it is therefore political speech, which makes Facebook's political commentary a campaign contribution to Dems. An "unreported" political contribution of incredible value.
My first thoughts exactly; legal minds think alike
The fact that networks refused to air some of Trumps advertisements should be 'in-kind donations' to the Democrats as well.
And that's the problem.
The is a painfully damaging fact.
Memeable... get to it and arm the cannons at the normies.
Take it away fren. I am here to spread the Glory. Everyone's happiness is my biggest reward.
Ah, not my thing... I just honor the memers by stealing and spreading. But this would be a f'ing bunker buster if ever there was one.... a master meme magician is required.
Admit is now synonymous with say or claim. Fucking clown world.
Well, yeah…. Glad they said the quiet part out loud.
To: Fakebook and Twatter
Is this where i say "No shit Sherlock"? Because this feels like the time and place where i should say, "No shit Sherlock".
So are the “opinions” posted that have been censored.
The literal ministry of truth.
Anons, we need to spread it more,you know it ?
ATTACK !
Die FB, just die already!!
Aye!
Only if MSM starts blasting this Otherwise normies will never know
I've been telling lefty friends this forever. "Fact checker are just opinion checkers." Just read the "fact check" counter arguments. They're so weak.
In many cases, the fact checkers create a weaker version of a meme, insert obvious falsehoods, and then use that meme as an excuse to censor related memes.
Just shared on FarceBook
About time they admit it!!
On mobile and too stressed to do it:
Someone please make the meme with the screaming housewives vine about opinions but add the Facebook “opinions not facts” screenshot of the filing to the beginning of it.
Or, the one where the two women scream at the cat.
Every time they do this to suppress political opinions or people they disagree with is another example if the Literal definition of fascism as defined by WW2 Fascists
Fakebook has been down all day for me, or is it bcz I'm a trouble maker?
There's a black 'mask' over my page that says "..technical problem with this feature, we're working on getting it fixed." Began last night.
It's not going to be a PR disaster, because "other sites do it," thus it has become "accepted," and I wouldn't be surprised if it's become demanded by the left.
Fakebook has algorithms to insert "vaccine information" links when they're mentioned on private pages; lefties don't need to reeeee to their Fakebook overlords crying "someone is thinking for themselves!"
Even worse are the "real fact checkers" like snopes, wikipedia,factcheck.org which are all leftist groups who are doing the exact same thing which then make the leftist think they are factually correct.
