Anthony needs to learn to read.

FB is not saying the fact check is opinion. They're saying the FB labels on Stossel's piece were opinion.

"After posting the video, he says Facebook placed a label near his video that stated, “Missing Context. Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.” Further information told readers: “Claim — ‘forest fires are caused by poor management. Not by climate change.’ Verdict: misleading.”

FB is saying someone else has called it false. Stossel needs to take it up with the fact checker, not FB.

It’s is not surprising that in every single instance you end up coming down on the side of the swamp. Piss off you troll.

When FB has partnered with these 3rd party groups and acts on thier behalf by accepting these opinions as fact then FB employees manually flag such articles posted by FB members and applies labels such as “false news” “partly false” or manually blocks the links to news articles like articles about hunter bidens laptop...they are acting in an editorial capacity by deciding what content is allowed then taking actions to suppress said content...Facebook bots require manual input from programmers to specify what content to flag or block.

These are not the actions of 3rd parties.

That being said...its private property...they can block or label what they chose...

My issue is more about truth in advertising...FB Bill’s itself as the public square and encourages the free exchange of ideals and opinions...

But it practice that is clearly false.

You need to learn to think.

Fascistbook put the label on it.

It is now their label because they applied it even if it was written by some other branch of FascistsInc.

Your attempt to confuse the issue and protect your fellow fascists is noted as is your failure.
