The fact checking services are wrong, a LOT. They are not ideologically neutral, particularly the ones used by Facebook.
For a specific example of the abusive and censorious nature of this business model, see Glenn Greenwald's recent article on the subject, specifically in regards to the blanket denunciation of the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story as Russian disinformation. Greenwald isn't a right-wing hack, and in fact he is aggressively pro-Palestinian, anti-war, and has been a loud critic of Bolsonaro despite being a resident of Brazil.

Edit:
Yes, a parade of downvotes without any refutations. Pay no attention to the fact that the guy in charge of censoring and fact checking operations at Facebook is a lifelong Democratic Party operative who literally worked for the Democratic House Majority PAC, and before that Senator Barbara Boxer, before going to work for Facebook.

- justinzollars 5y agoI'm receiving downvotes too, but keep sharing your thoughts with details! I provided a life experience based on changing political parties, and people obviously aren't comfortable that they have created an illiberal web.

- kcplate 5y ago> Greenwald isn't a right-wing hack, and in fact he is aggressively… Correct, he isn’t and technically more liberal than a lot of folks on the left, but then again the left is no longer liberal. He speaks truth to power without regard to political party/leaning and is therefore generally hated now by the left because he doesn’t follow the orthodoxy.
