Trump will lose his fact-checking protections on Facebook once he leaves the White House, meaning the platform could demote his page if he spouts misinformation

Facebook's policies will allow it to start adding fact-checks to posts from President Donald Trump once he has left the White House, a spokesperson told Business Insider.

Facebook told Business Insider on Wednesday that once Trump is replaced by President-elect Joe Biden, his posts will be eligible for fact-checking, just like those belonging to all "former officials" on the platform. Facebook only started fact-checking posts after Trump won the 2016 election, meaning this is the first time Trump will be vulnerable to fact-checking penalties on the platform.

Zuckerberg's reply downplayed the idea that Trump's Facebook activity might be visibly impacted once he leaves office. : "Former candidates for office or former officials continue to be covered by our third-party fact-checking programme."it is not the company's place to fact-check political speech , making them appear further down in people's feeds. It also warns users before they share that post, and add labels with details on why it's been debunked.

Close facebook, close twitter GO TO Parler NEWSMAXTV if you want freedom of speach

Trump, nor ANY president or government official of ANY office should have different standards/protections or than anyone else. Anything unequal in this regard is anti-democratic and opens FB/Twitter to claims of bias as well.

After he's programmed 75 million people to believe conspiracy theories. Trump is not the disease though, he's the symptom.

He won’t. Bannon threatened beheading and nothing happened

If?

thanks
