Facebook removing 'fact' checkers is good, they weren't fact checkers, they were bias enforcers.

Community notes is far superior to the bias enforcers.

That's not all FB is doing.

"Meta will allow its billions of social media users to accuse people of being mentally ill based on their sexuality or gender identity, among broader changes it made to its moderation policies and practices Tuesday.

...

The long list of changes to the new hate speech guidelines include removing rules that forbid insults about a person’s appearance based on race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, religious affiliation, caste, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity and serious disease. Meta also scrapped policies that prohibited expressions of hate against a person or a group on the basis of their protected class and that banned users from referring to transgender or nonbinary people as “it.”"

>accuse people of being mentally ill based on their sexuality or gender identity

This Johns Hopkins professor thinks it's mental illness:
