Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has admitted that Facebook’s so-called “fact-checkers” have been censoring information that was actually true.
Zuckerberg revealed that Meta’s top social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, were censoring skeptics about the Covid pandemic without any real evidence that the claims were false.
Much of that so-called “misinformation” has since been proved either true or debatable, however.
Zuckerberg made the comments during an interview on the “Lex Fridman Podcast.”
While explaining the difficulties of identifying “misinformation” on social media, he admitted that the corporate media and Big Tech were wrong to censor skepticism.
“So misinformation, I think, has been a really tricky one because there are things that are obviously false, right, or they may be factual but may not be harmful,” said Zuckerberg.
