Oh no, they don't censor every opinion I don't like, don't remove every post that does not align with my worldviews as disinformation, and don't forbid people to say bad words towards me while allowing me to do same towards them, what a horrible place!
I don't use corporate social media anymore, is Facebook actually taking on misinformation now?
I don't use it either, but wikipedia (and common knowledge) suggests they do like censoring everything https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_by_Facebook
Facebook (Meta) actually has a cutting edge team that researches and fights disinformation, they publish some really cool research every few months I recommend reading it. Unfortunately, their efforts amount to pissing on a wildfire that the rest of the company is doing its best to dump gasoline on, since that team is under-resourced compared to the teams tasked with increasing user engagement.
