“We categorically deny Meta’s accusation of prejudice.” Facebook’s third-party fact-checkers have maintained their record from the program’s inception, despite the problems.
“We completely deny Meta’s accusation of bias – we are utterly impartial, fact-check claims from all political stripes with equal rigour,
And hold those in power accountable through our commitment to truth,” said Chris Morris, CEO of Full Fact, a UK fact-checking organisation.
Fact-checkers, like Meta, are dedicated to advancing free expression grounded in factual knowledge without using censorship.
However, excluding fact-checkers from discussions won’t assist society in combating the fast growing amount of false information.
