Are you a recent college graduate who can't find a job because you majored in gender studies, art history, or interpretive dance? If so, you should consider an exciting and rewarding career as a Facebook fact-checker!

Fact-checking has become one of the fastest growing specialties within the booming tech industry. There's just so much disinformation out there, including things we disagree with, things that might make people less likely to vote for progressives, and things we just find icky. That's why good fact-checkers are in such high demand!

But don't worry — fact-checking doesn't require a great deal of knowledge or actual education, much less critical thinking skills. That's why it's perfect for today's college graduates. In fact, there's only one real job requirement: you must have spent the last five years in a progressive bubble, where literally everyone you know believes things like "a man can have a baby," "climate change will destroy the planet in 12 years," and "Joe Biden in not suffering from dementia."

As we said, it's ideal for recent grads.

As a Facebook fact-checker, you will utilize time-tested and totally valid propaganda techniques in the pursuit of relative truth, social justice, and the un-American way. For example, you'll learn all about creating straw men, which is helpful when someone says something on Facebook that makes you feel uncomfortable but that you can't actually disprove. As a fact-checker, you can simply accuse them of saying something obviously false that they never said.

Let's say an unwoke Facebook-user — and, sadly, there are many — posts a link to a CDC report that shows that only 6 percent of reported COVID deaths were people who died of COVID alone, while the other 94 percent had an average of 3.8 comorbidities.

HUH? Pretty sure pedo joe said choosing “truth” over facts would be paramount. So simply ignore these “fact” chekerz. Besides, they ain’t the boss of me. 😂🙌

“graduate who can’t find a job because you majored in gender studies, art history, or interpretive dance?”

How about a full time job as a clinical lab test subject.
Rather than have you clogging up the productive avenues of production, you can actually take part in some meaningful employment.

I can envision “gender studies” as a singular course in the process of a sociology major, but not a “major” in “gender studies” AND most of all I can see no legitimate place for a “gender studies” course without a requirement for a course on “criticism of gender studies”.

Since you don’t need to know anything, everyone is qualified.

NOW HIRING!! Are you an angry woke graduate student that can’t find employment in your field? Do you hate conservatives as the racist fascists they really are? If you answer yes to these key questions, we want you on the FAKEBOOK censorship team! That’s right, we are using our strength, money and power to silence those who do not believe like us. Squash opposing views for fun and money.

As a public service, I have devised a handy flow chart to help the Facebook fact-checkers.

1. Is the post about cute cats?
- If no, go to (2).
- If yes, go to (3).

2. Is the post liberal or conservative in nature?
- If it's liberal, go to (3).
- If it's conservative, go to (4).
- If you're not sure, go to (5).

3. Leave the post alone.
4. Delete the post immediately. And ban the poster for at least a month.
5. When in doubt, rub it out! Go to (4).

Most Facebook fact-checking and moderation are outsourced to India (and to a lesser extent, the Philippines)

Look up Sykes. They are the call center that Facebook contracts with to moderate content (a Denver/ Tampa company)

That’s a logic flow.

They’ll never get it.

If recent college grads sign on with facebook as “fact checkers” ... Will fb provide the arm bands, brown shirts, and marching shoes? Or are recruits to Hitler Youth II expected to provide their own?

It reminds me of the Committee on Public Safety during the Terror in France. The committee is not actually about safety the way fact checkers are not interested in facts.

Hint. Most likely, these fact-checkers will be located in Bangalore, Mumbai or Manila, as is the case now. And since Duterte has taken office in 2016, increasingly these jobs are moving back to India.
