I don't get how Facebook can say with certainty this is misinformation? It's information that hasn't been verified. There is an important difference.
- phatfish 6y agoThis trouble for Facebook and well anyone attempting to combat misinformation is that the falsehood can be created in seconds. The clever ones are designed to be hard to fully disprove, or at least seem that way. Everyone else has to then scramble and spend hours, days or more gathering evidence to prove lies are incorrect. It's a denial of truth attack that is impossible to police fairly on a time scale that matters.
