    I dont think fact checking was the main reason, moreso that they decided to allow hate speech (e.g. They’re allowing targetted hate against LGBT groups).

      Never seen FB disallow fake news or hate speech as long as it is coming from the (extreme) right.

      Either they just stop pretending now or irl somehow get even worse?

        They censored certain phrases and words, which they plan on no longer enforcing. I agree that they leave hate speech on the platform (reports rarely do anything) but the looser restrictions mean people can post even more hateful content and that paves the way for discrimatory ideologies
