Facebook has recently chosen to not moderate political speech on their platform, which is an admirable decision. They did this because any political speech, whether true or false, should be news verbatim, and should influence the user if it is false. They should not correct false info because it is, and always has been the user’s responsibility to fact check what they read, regardless of the platform.
I encourage everyone to read the NYT article on the topic, which outlines other opinions and more of what happened: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/01/learning/should-facebook-fact-check-political-speech.html?login=google&auth=login-google#commentsContainer
Thanks for stopping by!
