Facebook announced Thursday it will now debunk common myths about climate change, further leaning into the “arbiter of truth” role that the company once renounced. The social media giant said it is adding a section to its climate change information hub that will features facts with accurate information about misconceptions and falsehoods. This will include the fact that polar bear populations are declining because of global warming, as well as the fact that too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere harms plant life. The company said it plans to rely on experts from George Mason University, the Yale Program on

I liked “gormless” in reference to Zuckerberg. Truth arbiter indeed.

"This will include the fact that polar bear populations are declining because of global warming"
How ironic to use a profoundly distorted (but often reported) "fact" a their example.

There is a huge opportunity to create a parallel conservative economy so the 50% of America that believes in the First Amendment can take their business and dollars. Start with replacing Facebook, Google, and Amazon. A Trump news Network and go from there!

What's needed is a big libel lawsuit holding them accountable as the publisher of the libelous message. They can no longer hide behind "common carrier" protections. FaceBook's behavior as an info *publisher* of info makes them, in fact, no longer a common carrier.

How convenient. After hours of research on climatology I can take a break and watch KittyCat videos.
Maybe I'll just skim the climatology stuff. It's hard.

Interesting timing. TX presents as a literally fatal error in public policy (allowing intermittent energy production as a component of the grid) then FB decided no one can question their authority on the subject of climate change issues.

Facebook is a for-profit shell for totalitarian censorship disguised as a "social network." It makes us slaves and Mark Zuckerberg rich.

If Facebook intends to become another “60 Minutes” they should have to operate under the same rules.

Have they debunked all the deaths and chaos in Texas yet?
Have they explained why they de-platformed the nation of Australia?
Have they debunked the records of voter fraud?
Have they put Donald J. Trump in prison for life? For murder.
Facefraud, you got your work ahead of you.

Facebook et al are only our overlords if we grant them that power. They have come to believe we HAVE to.
Hey, guess what, you're history. You may have some of my data, but you don't have me. I, and many, are gone.

Facebook should be forced to de-register from the stock exchanges as a business, and re-register as a political organization.
