Facebook says it was penalized by Russia after refusing to halt fact-checkers
- Ambolia 5y agoShouldn't fact-checking be decentralized, in a way that we could choose our own fact-checkers and evaluate their long-term reliability on the topics that interest us? I feel like most of the problems of information today is that nobody seems to be able to remember or be responsible for anything that happened 3 days ago, everything just moves too fast and we already onto the next big thing, "the science has changed" stage by that time, with no time to check previous performance.
