Fact Checks Admittedly Just Opinions
John Stossel sued Facebook for marking some of his content as inaccurate. Facebook recently admitted they partner with other groups to fact check the high volume of posts. Those individuals don’t actually check to see whether the posts are factual, but simply give an opinion as to whether it’s factual.
The problem is that so many people don’t know that. They see something marked “missing context” or whatnot and believe it at face value. It ends up covering up unpopular ideas. I think everyone knew it was impossible to dig through that many posts, but it’s interesting to see them admit it.
