you don't call it censorship, of course. you call it "mitigation". Your entire twitter stream for the past day is about this.

You think it's ok for FB to drown people with outright fake news with nary an indication while censoring nudity on the site?

"drown people with fake news" is a bit of an exaggeration, no? So you want FB to decide for us what's true and what's not....

I believe it is "drown people with fake news" based on watching this for a year. No, the Pope did not endorse Trump.

Facebook can: pair that with a fact-check; make the algorithm (which already chooses who wins) emphasize credible sources.

Facebook can, indeed. Do we want them to? I don't. You'll be complaining that your views are filtered a couple of years from now

Facebook's massive control over speech is a major problem I've complained about for years. That's a problem.

But a free-for-all where people are free to deceive, paid-off by Facebook to do so; and promoted by algorithm? Also problem.
