Facebook-owned Instagram is “fact-checking” satirical posts and memes on the platform via its third-party fact-checkers, and filtering them from hashtag and “explore” results.
A spokeswoman for Facebook confirmed that satirical images of far-left climate activist Greta Thunberg had indeed been tagged with warnings that “fact-checkers” had rated the images as “false,” as originally reported by Summit.
“We work with third-party fact-checkers to help identify, review, and label false information on Instagram,” said the spokeswoman. “When content is rated as false or partly false by a third-party fact-checker, we reduce its distribution by removing it from Explore and hashtag pages. In addition, we label the content so people can better decide for themselves what to read, trust, and share.”
Self-proclaimed “meme artist” LUSHUX reported on Twitter that a humorous image featuring Hillary Clinton claiming to have killed Jeffrey Epstein was also “fact-checked” as false.

Yep, but they have 7 million followers on FB sharing their juvenile crap.

Has Soph gone elsewhere?
She seems to be behind a paywall now, sort of like Milo. Which is a shame.
It is very important that FB also filter parables and metaphors.

I wonder what the social media landscape will look like in Oct 2020. I’m not hopeful.
In better days, an article like this would be satirical.
