According to The Daily Mail, a document from a meeting with the European Commission revealed that Facebook Vice President Nick Clegg admitted that his company’s ‘fact-checkers’ could be politically biased.

Now that is frigen funny
Possibly?
This whole “fact-check” thing is ridiculous.
There is no fact-check. It is pure agenda.
A platform allows diversity of thought and the free flow of ideas.
A publisher does not.
In other news, water is wet.
Well, a-doy!
REALLY????? How can that be??????
No............ really......
Oh! Ya think?

Doh!
But its ok now because their goal of getting rid of Trump is done.
All fact-checkers are politically biased. If they are human, and they have a mind, and have a points of view, no matter the issue or frame of mind, they are biased.
Fact-checkers are there to view issues from their perspective, which is often based on their education and their upbringing.
No such thing as unbiased perspectives from anyone.

Wow. Really? Hadn’t noticed...
The idea that FaceBook “fact checkers” should be determining things like the efficacy of Ivermectin therapies for Covid is a frightening joke.

Yep, I can't believe the GOP lawmakers are allowing this company to censor speech. There oughta be a Law.
“possibly”
Allowing the censorship should be a crime by our lawmakers.
