Fact Checking is really two things and it's difficult to discern at times, especially with how Facebook, Twitter, and other's moderated. Fact checking can be a legitimate search for the truth to correct inaccuracies. It can also be used to discredit and suppress ideas you disagree with.

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely.
