you're confusing fact checking with forum discussions and social media posts
- gitaarik 2y agoYou are giving too much trust to a small authority group to determine what the "facts" are for the rest of the people. If these "facts" are so obviously facts, we wouldn't need a team of researchers to establish the fact whether they are facts. The fact that these "facts" need to be "fact-checked" means they are so open to interpretation and depend on context, that we came to the conclusion that this "fact-checking" concept in fact does not really work. You can still "fact-check" for yourself; do your own research, make up your own mind yourself. Then you will become more of an independent thinker, be less influenced by authoritarian figures.
