In Stossel v. Meta Platforms, Inc. et al, Facebook says its “fact checks” are opinion. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear Google’s lawyers characterize theirs in the same way. I don’t give someone’s opinion more weight because they call themselves a fact checker. The “truth” (i.e. “facts”) is often complicated and subjective, especially in politics. The lack of compassion for other peoples’ perspectives that underlies this whole “disinformation” movement lately is sad.
