Right but this is the FBI, the government telling FB to censor a story.
- loeg 4y agoThe FBI warned about general election misinformation. They did not mention or direct FB re: this specific story. That was FB's choice.
- mwint 4y agoThe FBI has too much coercive power to ever merely “warn”. Everything they say necessarily has a second implied meaning, and any large company understands that.

- UncleMeat 4y agoNo it isn't. The FBI said "hey heads up there is likely to be a lot of interference and misinformation for this election" and then considerably later facebook goes "hey this story looks like it fits the pattern the FBI told us about" and took independent action.
