Facebook will be barraged with Libs saying that any news stories that they don't like are "fake news." This is what they do at YouTube. If Facebook does this, it will simply lead to more liberal censorship, and the leaders of Facebook will be just fine with that outcome.

Facebook is a fascist enterprise.

They’ve got to be in violation of some anti-trust or RICO article.

"The plan is to add a link to stories which readers have identified as fake."

An absolutely asinine idea. Leftist activists will be branding everything as "fake" that they don't agree with, even if it is undeniably true.

The censorship mechanisms will be put in place, tested and refined.

Then they can throttle them up when needed (on order from the Democrat Party).

The practitioners of fake news will be the ones telling you what is “fake news”.

Who will watch the watchers?

Facebook will add warning labels to ‘fake news’

So we will be logging on to FakeFaceBook when we go there?

Or will it be FaceBookFake?

FaceFakeBook?

They’ll be using lying Soros-funded Snopes to censor fake news.

Yup, liberals will gag you for telling the truth.

FREE REPUBLIC should develop a disclaimer for TRUE CONSERVATIVE NEWS - a “FR Seal of Approval” of sorts to counteract this anti-1st Amendment Facebook scheme.

"We’ve started a program to work with third-party fact checking organizations that are signatories of Poynter’s International Fact Checking Code of Principles.

Hiring some "ministry of truth" invites the biases of the "ministry of truth" you hire. I am dubious about them being impartial as to political ideology, but expect them to bow to SJW pressure and become tyrannical.

Reddit uses a better method--the users themselves identify a BS posting and down-vote it into oblivion. The setup of facebook allows BS to go viral with no check from its regular users.

No problem. I see lots of people on Facebook now going around to the stories from ABC, NBC, CNN labeling them FAKE NEWS in the comments. We all can play this game.

Prediction:
This will roll out and be active for about 6 months.

The backlash will be so phenomenal that Facebook will pull the plug.

Ohh, this will be fun!
