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.
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.
