Last week, we learned that Facebook had been banning posts suggesting that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese lab.
We became aware only when Facebook announced that it would no longer ban such posts, raising the question of why it was doing so in the first place.
Then over the weekend, we learned that Facebook apparently has plans to ban posts that might encourage "Vaccine hesitancy." What does that mean? Who knows.
In one section of its "Community Standards" document, Facebook flatly denies that it removes "False news" posts.
As with the Biden editorial, readership crashed as soon as Facebook slapped its "Partly false" label on it.
Facebook has been not only removing COVID-19 stories it doesn't like, but posts regarding election fraud as well, according to ABC News.
"Starting today, we will reduce the distribution of all posts in News Feed from an individual's Facebook account if they repeatedly share content that has been rated by one of our fact-checking partners. We already reduce a single post's reach in News Feed if it has been debunked," Facebook announced.
