Right, identifying information as “false” is censoring it on Facebook because it suppresses it.
- ajkjk 5y agoThe difference is whether it is removed for being wrong versus for political/ideological purposes. You would not call a newspaper editor who refuses to publish dishonest journalism a censor, would you? Obviously there is a stance going around that 'calling things wrong' is being done for political/ideological purposes, but that doesn't make fact-checking censorship _in principle_.
