Notice how Zuckerberg has only come to this conclusion AFTER his election inerference has failed spectacularly and he's facing scruttiny by the DOJ and other now-Trump-controlled agencies!

Mark Zuckerberg Promises Less Censorship on Facebook as He Scraps Biased Third-Party ‘Fact Checkers’

Rest assured; he'll find some sneaky backdoor ways to censor. Politifact and the other "third party fact checkers" were only the visible way they did it at Facebook; they had all sorts of sneaky tricks, like shadow-banning and suspensions for all sorts of things up to and including "going too fast" and dropping people down in the feed. It's not going to change; Zuckerberg knew all this was happening and took no steps. Now he's just playing for time.

In point of fact the fact checking had the honesty of at least admitting they were doing it. Granted, if they really wanted an honest fact check they would have paired the liberal fact check with a conservative fact check but they weren't going to do THAT. The real winner there was when they used a fact check site that was owned by Meta in the first place. That used to really cheese off my Facebook friends.

I still favor suing Meta for antitrust. I certainly know I have no trust in them. (Glad you can't throw rotten tomatoes through a computer screen.)
