In an open letter published by The New York Times, the group of more than 30 employees said Facebook should fact check posts from politicians and label harmful posts.

" claims that providing warnings about a politician’s speech is inappropriate, but removing content from citizens is acceptable, even if both are saying the same thing. That is not a noble stand for freedom. It is incoherent, and worse, it is cowardly," reads the letter.

By comparison. social media site Twitter labeled similar messages by Trump as violating rules against"glorifying violence."

FB is involved w the Omidyar Network of eBay founder & Soros Open Society Foundation. Omidyar funds Poynter Institute for Media Studies that hosts International Fact-Checking Network partnered w FB. Better to have a law 'truth in politics' for candidates & elected officials.

If they fact check, it implies they know more than the government which is scary at times. They shouldn't because it will mean the employee will have the final authority over views and who is gonna say he/she is not biased?

Publisher or content provider - can't be both.

How is not censoring Trump 'cowardly'? This country is in the grip of complete anti-Trump, Anti-American and anti-white insanity so not censoring Trump took great courage. Orwellian doublespeak is, of course, a sign of a society gone mad.

Why stop at Facebook? Our News Media often posts misinformation, Twitter shadow bans those with facts and then promotes misinformation. We are not getting the true picture from our extremely biased media. Social media, print media, TV 'news'...all are duping the gullible.😔

I’m confident that Facebook is equipped to determine what is true and what is false

All posts from politicians should be labled as harmful, no?
