    If a newspaper told you to inject bleach, they should be (and probably are) liable for that. I don’t see a reason why facebook shouldn’t be.

    They are not fighting DISINFORMATION, they are fighting liabilty.

      I thought that was what that court case was about a few years ago and that it was decided that FB and other social media was more like a blackboard or bathroom stall - that people write on and that it isn’t their faults if people write false things on it. I also am leery of who controls ‘truth’. I still cringe when hearing about religious groups controlling truth. I am not saying ‘truth’ is completely subjective, yet I can’t make myself believe that it is completely objective, either. Perhaps ‘truth’ is closer to being situational: “If this, then that”. I dislike having another’s ‘truth’ forced upon me. heck, that is one reason i can’t stand being around my own family. I want to be happy and free and not constantly argue about whose ‘truth’ is correct. Live and let live (within reason and there again, who’s reason?).
