Ressa rejected Zuckerberg’s claim that factcheckers had been “too politically biased” and had “destroyed more trust than they’ve created”.
“Journalists have a set of standards and ethics,” Ressa said. “What Facebook is going to do is get rid of that and then allow lies, anger, fear and hate to infect every single person on the platform.”

In response to this post@bicmay plenty of my FB posts got censored on the (invalid) grounds that they violated community standards. Seems that eliminating factchecking isn't going to do anything about that.
E.g., I re-shared a local newspaper's post about a local children's choir winning a competition. The post had a photo of a bunch of kids with their fists in the air, cheering. FB censored my post for inciting violence. Rejected my appeal too.
@bicmay so, on one hand they allow some accounts to post photos that trigger their AI moderators, but then they penalize others for resharing those allowed posts. It's all just a shit-show.
