    Tara McGowan Retweeted Keya Vakil

    Facebook classifies right-wing misinformation farms including @DailyCaller + @BreitbartNews as verified news publishers + verified FACT CHECKERS on their platform yet wrote a policy to restrict progressive @CourierNewsroom from spreading truth. The double standard is unapologetichttps://twitter.com/keyavakil/status/1294069750994292737 …

    facebook decided we're not worthy of being in their 'news' tab, because apparently we're not real news. that's a revelation to me, a reporter who has written hundreds of stories over the past year. let's take a quick look... https://www.forbes.com/sites/robpegoraro/2020/08/13/no-facebook-isnt-getting-political-clickbait-out-of-its-news-tab/#1f5c2124e840 …

        Zuckerberg denies @Facebook is a news organization yet dictates what information reaches millions of users everyday. They’ve drawn clear lines on what they consider to be news + it’s right-wing propaganda that amplifies Trump. Look at who runs their policy shop to understand why.

        “According to internal discussions from the last 6 months, Facebook has relaxed its rules so that conservative pages, including those run by Breitbart were not penalized for violations of the company’s misinformation policies.”https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/sensitive-claims-bias-facebook-relaxed-misinformation-rules-conservative-pages-n1236182 …

        “About Facebook’s new rule: The company’s DC-based policy team will make the final call. That’s the shop run by former Republican lobbyist Joel Kaplan that functions as a giant thumb on the scale for Trump supporters—even when they violate Facebook rules”https://www.forbes.com/sites/robpegoraro/2020/08/13/no-facebook-isnt-getting-political-clickbait-out-of-its-news-tab/ …

        “@Facebook has been a death knell for local journalism for years and to discriminate intentionally against a new model that seeks to amplify the work of local journalists across the US is incredibly dispiriting,” @LindsaySchrupp, Editor-in-Chief of @CourierNewsroom wrote.
