Facebook will start fact-checking memes
Marketwatch ^

Posted on 09/16/2018 11:19:42 AM PDT by MNDude

Facebook Inc. FB, +0.59% said Thursday that it would begin to fact-check photos and videos shared to its platform. So far, most of the work done by human fact-checkers on Facebook has been geared toward articles, the company said in a release. Facebook announced Thursday that it would use a machine-learning model to identify potentially inaccurate photo and video content and then send those items to human fact-checkers for review. "Many of our third-party fact-checking partners have expertise evaluating photos and videos and are trained in visual verification techniques, such as reverse image searching and analyzing image metadata, like when and where the photo or video was taken," the company said. Facebook is looking for content that is manipulated, fabricated, or out of context, among other things.

Gotta learn to read lefty lingo.

“Fact checking” in lefty lingo means disqualifying anything inconvenient to the lefty narrative.

So, on FaceBook, the “fact checking” will be aggressive censoring of any and all non-leftist approved messages and images.

Dude, lay off the cocaine in the green room.
You’ve see what it does to Joe Biden and Hillary.

CNN and ALL liberal outlets will get a pass. JP Morgan will get a pass.

This move by Facebook is a thinly disguised totalitarian gimmick to squash the speech of traditional Americans who happen to be conservative.

[ Grace, you need to bring your meme machine to the Q threads. You’re awesome. And fast. And funny. ]

The Q threads here, or the 4chan boards, I tend to stay away from 4chan as I don’t like to surf where there is the possibility of viruses, etc..

What could possibly go wrong?

The Q threads here.

I don't go to 8chan (home of Q) and 4chan is hated by 8chan. Don't even sweat them.

But the 8chan nerds do monitor our Q threads and there is some cross pollination.

If you make awesome memes, they will be picked up and spread, I'm quite sure. Memes are very important to the Q program, due to their inability to be read by a.i. Now we see Facebook scrambling to develop tech to read and censor them.

The Derp State reads Q too.

So, to clarify, and to simplify the technical explanation, they will be censoring conservative content.

Imagine if your phone company froze your account because they didn’t like what you and your friends were saying to each other.

Twitter and Facebook are doing the same thing. Only people continue to use them.

liberty is just not that important to people today. At least, not yet.

Memes are political expression in art form. They can’t be fact checked.
