It’s probably much cheaper to let your users do it for free.
And it’s easier to place your thumb on the scales.
Often funnier too, based on shit I’ve seen on twitter

lol was that like a ShitRedditSays kind of thing?
People on Xitter getting absolutely wrecked by community notes
Suspiciously timed to allow Orange Hitler and the cult to spread more bullshit and hateful lies as the inauguration looms
Hugest crowd size.
Is the solution to this problem to just start flooding these networks with false propaganda like posts from the left to mirror what the right has been doing for so long? With only one side acting this way it drags the Overton window invariably right and destroys any desire from anyone one the right to support unbiased factually correct information. I honestly don’t know a truly virtuous solution to the problem when a party has embraced victory by any means.
You can’t win the medium that is owned by the opposition. Bottom line is they will enforce their rules (and make new ones) against any successful leftist strategy on the platform. And conveniently ignores those same rules in regards to the right.
The solution is to stop using Facebook.
And don’t give me the “BuT mArKeTpLaCe!” Excuse. Craigslist is still a thing.
Craigslist doesn’t hold a candle to Marketplace. I go straight there, see zero ads, have no idea what the main page looks like.
another issue is they have a much larger amount of the not working and not needing to look for work segment of the population.

Copying most of my comment from the c/news post because this is super important to know.
They aren’t just getting rid of fact checkers, they are also allowing “allegations of mental illness or abnormality when based on gender or sexual orientation, given political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality and common non-serious usage of words like ‘weird.’” They are saying it is completely okay to call trans or gay people mentally ill because their existence is “political”.
This article doesn’t even fucking mention that. It only says they’re changing some rules about “gender” but not what those rules are or what those changes mean.
This is insane.
I’m fine with this. Old folks hated fact checks before now it’ll be personal between everyone LOL
