I think another commenter's idea is reasonable - people are flagging false claims like this, and the link is being punished by association
- timr 5y agoYes, I know what you're talking about, but it has nothing to do with the post. Someone posted a link to a CDC page on Facebook, and Facebook flagged it as misinformation. Maybe someone, somewhere used this link to argue something misleading, but as I said before, you can do that with any fact.
- jackweirdy 5y agoOh. I'm not defending labelling the link as fake news. And my post wasn't an argument in favour of this being ok. Just adding an example for the poster and any other readers who haven't seen the "context problem" first hand
