  • Fact Check: Blocking 'Community Standards' Does NOT Keep A Person Out Of 'Facebook Jail'

    Fact Check

    Do these instructions explaining how to block "community standards" give a Facebook user free rein to violate the platform's community standards without being penalized or going to "Facebook Jail"? No, that's not true: These instructions are a sarcastic joke, a nod to a popular long-running false instructional post that tells people how they can block fact-checkers and never be fact-checked…

    Fact Check

    Is "Big Tech" letting child porn distributors freely operate while restricting people who post content that companies like Amazon and Facebook consider to be dangerous falsehoods?

    Fact Check

    Fact Check

    Did Instagram institute a new set of policies on December 20, 2020, that remarkably changed the way the platform operates and that opens users up to a type of surveillance never seen before?

    Fact Check

    Is fact-checking on Facebook done by the Australian data company Appen? No, that's not true: Fact-checking on Facebook is done in the U.S. by 10 members of the independent International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), a worldwide forum whose members are certified to adhere to a Code of Principles, one of whose tenets is non-partisanship.
