Facebook has admitted in court that the "fact-checks" it uses to smear, discredit, and suppress information are just "opinions."  The bombshell admission from Facebook (aka Meta) was revealed in evidence during the court proceedings for a defamation case filed by veteran news host John Stossel.  In court documents, Meta admitted in court that the “fact-checks” used by Facebook to blacklist non-corporate media content are actually just opinion-based labels.  Accoridng to Facebook, these so-called "fact-checkers" do not conduct any real fact-checking of information posted to the site.   Stossel is suing the company after his work on climate change was labeled by Facebook as “false and misleading.”  In response to Stossel’s suit, Facebook wrote that the company cannot be sued for defamation in relation to the fact-checks.
