who decided it's facebook's job to determine veracity of things that happen to be shared on it

Are you saying a social network has no right to create its own idea of a positive customer experience?I don’t see it too different from spam
-
I think you're misunderstanding, OP is mad that facebook decided not to do said filtering
-
I apologize. You mean you agree that FB should filter fake news regardless of which party gets disproportionately affected as a result?
-
facebook can do whatever it wants, I just think it's laughable for some bluecheck lib to present it as a moral imperative
-
especially since such a change if it had been made would have benefited his chosen candidate
-
The fact that blocking weaponized bullshit favors one candidate isn't FB's problem. Running on weaponized bullshit is the candidate's choice
-
Moreover, no person or media company is under any obligation to make the world easier for campaigns that decide to go this route.
-
They are, however, obliged to manage conflicts between their short term and long term interests. And that's where FB has fucked up royally.

They are a media company. That is literally what media companies do. This is why you don't see porn on Facebook. Because Facebook has S&P.

Don't know what S&P is? S&P is Standards & Practices. It's the group in every media company that decides what will and won't get distributed
