Fact-Checker: We're Not to Blame for Censorship, Zuckerberg Is Passing the Buck

The Democratic Party essentially turned it into an unofficial extension of their own organization, and now that the Trump administration is entering the picture, there is a lot of scrambling and shifting of blame taking place.

The fact-checking sector is clearly unhappy about being the target of much of the criticism, leading some individuals to speak up. I want to clarify that I am not a supporter of fact-checking authorities, who frequently make significant errors—whether it’s about the origins of COVID or the water problems during the California wildfires—yet we are expected to have faith in them. Nevertheless, I do find some of their insights intriguing, exposing just how corrupt the Biden administration became with their blatant censorship initiatives and how Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was willing to bend over backwards to accommodate them:

Chris Richmond, the CEO of Snopes, asserted on Saturday that the U.S. government was responsible for suppressing the story about Hunter Biden’s laptop in 2020, contending that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was simply following the administration’s directives at that time.

“Let’s look at the most famous example of Facebook censoring content, and that was the Hunter Biden laptop story. And we say, well, it was fact-checkers, right, who told Zuckerberg to limit the reach of that? No, it was the government. So, Facebook complied with the government, and then the fact-checkers get the blame,” Richmond told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Saturday.

“If Kamala Harris would have won, would he be taking any of these same actions now? No. He complied with what the government wanted then and is complying what the new administration wants now,” Richmond said.
