The end of fact-checking at Meta is a dream come true for conservatives, of course.

Conservatives are now at liberty to spread all manner of disinformation and lies on social media, along with rightwing hate speech.

And as private entities social media are at liberty to do nothing at all about rightwing disinformation and lies.

Conservatives will continue their war on facts and the truth, neither of which are ‘political.’

There wasn't any fact "checking". The so-called fact checkers picked what information they wanted to be seen.

Absolutely .
The checkers-- that only fools believed were checking Facts .

The very poor joke had lasted long enough and represented a huge hurdle to Free Speech .

Not that anybody of consequence ever bothered what Fake Book had to say about anything .

YAWN, beyond the obvious conflict of interest of this group losing their job, what else have you got. Americans don't need outside fact checkers to verify the truth. If they are so lazy or incompetent that they don't check the veracity of a report than they deserve what they get. There are already laws to prevent the malicious spread of false info. There is no justification for restrictions of the freedom of speech. If there was, EVERY talk show host and news anchor in the country would be fact checked right into prison.

It is amusing that they continue to call themselves, "Fact Checkers." There is, in fact, a Gestapo order to censor information to protect the regime of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

What this letter details is the fact that they are losing their gravy boat and are pissed so they are going to lie through their teeth in order to maintain power and money.
