Facebook’s “fact checking” feature is ostensibly intended to prevent users from becoming misinformed about important matters, but it is instead being used as a tool for political propaganda and censorship of truthful information that does not align with certain political agendas.
Among other agendas, Facebook has been serving to manufacture consent for extreme “lockdown” measures in response to the epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).
This is evident in how only information challenging lockdown policies is apparently being flagged as misinformative despite the massive amount of misinformation being propagated by lockdown advocates in the mainstream media.
