"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.
