Winning a battle in the war on censorship: Facebook scraps “fact-checkers”

In a troubling move against accountability in the digital age, Facebook has announced it will cease its partnership with third-party fact-checkers, undermining efforts to combat misinformation on its platform. Critics argue that this decision prioritizes profits over the proliferation of accurate information, posing a significant threat to informed public discourse and democracy itself.

In a decisive victory for free speech advocates, Facebook has taken a bold step by phasing out its reliance on third-party fact-checking services, a move celebrated by many as a crucial pushback against the censorship of conservative voices online. Critics of the fact-checking program have long argued it was biased and stifled open discourse.
