NEW YORK POST — Facebook is a private company, so it can censor whomever it wants. But what Facebook is doing lately is just sleazy.
Recently, I sued them because they defamed me. They, along with one of their “fact-checkers,” a group called Science Feedback, lied about me and continue to lie about me.
Now Facebook has responded to my lawsuit in court.
Amazingly, their lawyers now claim that Facebook’s “fact-checks” are merely “opinion” and therefore immune from defamation.
Wait — Facebook’s fact-checks are just “opinion”?! I thought fact-checks are statements of fact.
That’s how Facebook portrays them on its website: “Each time a fact-checker rates a piece of content as false, Facebook significantly reduces the content’s distribution … We … apply a warning label that links to the fact-checker’s article, disproving the claim.”
“Disproving.” Sure sounds like Facebook claims its labels are statements of fact. […]
‘War is peace’
‘Ignorance is strength’…
‘Fact checks are opinions’
Is Facebook a private company?? If I didn’t know better I would think it was tied to our government and maybe DARPA…I might believe Fuckerberg-Zuckerberg-Greenberg-Rockefeller or Rothchild probably both…. was and is a boy genius who created it….
