    Many others reported having their posts flagged with a warning about “Missing context … Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.”

    “Yes, it is factual. But we don’t trust our users to be intelligent enough to read this and form the correct opinions”

    This doesn’t sound like fact-checking to me.

Fb should have a whitelist of peer reviewed domains like bmj.com that can be shared without their shitty reviewers tampering.
