Reply to post: Employees are complaining

FYI, we're now in the timeline where Facebook decides who is and isn't a politician on its 2bn-plus-person network

Employees are complaining

“Our current policies on fact checking people in political office, or those running for office, are a threat to what FB stands for."

I think the employees misunderstand what is going on here. What FB actually stands for is "More money, more money, more money for Zuck." Anything else is pretty much irrelevant, despite Zuck's fake apologies and other lies about wanting to be a good "corporate citizen."

The real issue is this: can you imagine how much it would cost to fact-check everything said by and about politicians and ban any lies? Not only would the expense be horrendous, but 99.99% of all political ads would be forbidden by such a policy, which makes it a twice-losing proposition for Zuck. No way is he going to do that.

Paris because they're obviously confused.
