If you wondered just how badly biased Facebook really is with their content, look no further than what they did to President Trump.
And continue to do to the former president.
Andy Stone ~ No. Nothing about the status of President Trump's presence on our platform has changed. He remains indefinitely suspended.
But you know, Facebook isn’t a publisher.
Glenn Greenwald was good enough to remind Andy Stone about his promise MONTHS ago that fact-checking was being done by Facebook on the Hunter Biden story that was silenced just weeks before the election. A story about then Democrat-candidate Biden’s son being ‘owned’ by China would have been highly problematic for his election hopes.
So it sort of disappeared.
Glenn Greenwald ~ (Replying to @andymstone) Any news on the fact-checking process you claimed Facebook was undertaking on the Hunter Biden documents in the weeks leading up to the election when -- as a life-long Dem operative -- you announced for FB that the reporting on this story would be algorithmically suppressed?
Huh, any word on that Andy?
When we went to his timeline all we found was *crickets*.
Glenn Greenwald ~ Here's the fact-checking promise you made on October 14, 2020, when justifying Facebook's extraordinary, election-manipulating suppression of that reporting. That's more than 7 months ago. Seems like it should be ready by now:
Responding to:
Andy Stone ~ While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want be clear that this story is eligible to be fact checked by Facebook's third-party fact checking partners. In the meantime, we are reducing its distribution on our platform.
October 14, 2020
Andy Stone ~ This is part of our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review.
October 14, 2020
From October 2020.
Ouch.
Terry ~ He'll circle back on that one.
Yeah, he's probably consulting with Jen Psaki, as we speak.
We’re not counting on it.
