That is some moxy right there. The onion, eat your heart out.
Facebook is ramping up its censorship campaign.
Lawyer and political activist Jon Moseley informed Big League Politics how Facebook has flagged posts on known satire site The Babylon Bee.
The post in question was “Ilhan Omar: ‘If Israel Is So Innocent, Then Why Do They Insist On Being Jews?”
When Moseley shared this post on his personal profile and a Facebook page he runs, Conservative Party, it was flagged by the fact-checker HOAX-ALERT.LEADSTORIES.COM.
According to Facebook, when a website receives a fact-check flag, it is downgraded in people’s news feed and won’t show up on Facebook pages.
This incident struck Moseley as odd.
He told BLP, “That the post was satire, and labeled as satire, and Facebook is fact-checking satire. They are warning people that the satire isn’t true.”
This latest development comes on a week when Facebook and its Instagram subsidiary are rolling out new fact-check changes.
According to a report from Tom Parker at Reclaim the Net, “Facebook-owned Instagram is now limiting the distribution of posts that its fact-checking partners label as “false.” Posts that are considered “false” will be removed from Instagram’s Explore tab and its hashtag results pages, which Parker notes are “two of the main ways Instagram users discover posts from accounts that they’re not following.”
Facebook currently employs 52 fact-checking partners in over 30 countries.
