Facebook’s New ‘Chinese-style’ Political Censorship System Goes Global?
"If the article is flagged by any anonymous person (most likely, from a
political opponent of the news story in question), then the post creator
is hit with the alert that says, 'many people have reported that this
story contains false information'. It’s common sense that just because
someone else says something is false, or true for that matter –
it does not always mean that is the case. Most smart readers can figure
this out themselves, but do we want/need ‘faceless’ communitarians to decide that for us? This kind of approach will only lower the bar of intellectual ability in the long run."
