[QUOTE="Kentonio, post: 75435523, member: 406284"] Facebook are a massive corporation who can well afford to pay a professional fact checking department. Their job isn't to decide whether they think people should be allowed to hear opinions, their job is to determine whether claims made are unsupported, deliberately misleading or simply factually incorrect. Obviously that's not a precise science, they can't prove for instance that a newspapers anonymous sources are accurate or truthful, that's the newspapers job, but they can do basic checks on supposed facts stated in the piece and ensure that blatant misinformation isn't being peddled. If a reputable newspaper reports that sources have told them that Joe Biden used to have contacts with the mafia, then that will almost certainly go through as although dramatic its not something that can be easily dis-proven by outside fact checking, and the newspapers reputation buys them a level of trust. If a tabloid however reports that Joe Biden has been having secret meetings with Chinese spies, and a little fact checking shows he was nowhere near that location on those dates, then it probably won't go through because it's almost certainly sensationalist nonsense. I really don't see why this is even controversial. [/QUOTE]
