Instagram says will fight misinformation with fact-check allies

Another example of the powers-that-be trying to control the narrative. They will allow all the misinformation that they approve, and label anything they don't like as "false".

making alliances with fact-checkers around the world to expose deception in shared photos or videos.

Let me see.... that would not include the typical ideological activists such as SPLC and Snopes? I don´t bet on that.

What happened to that little thing called freedom of speech? The Chinese government must be looking with approval on the policies of American Big Tech companies.

It seems reasonable to me considering the alternative:

Number of Trump's 'false or misleading claims' rose dramatically in 2019

I think Twitter is also trying to root out misinformation!

With every post by someone unknown, mark it as Hearsay by default. Friends/followers won't care.

Put a Trusted Source mark on stories by credible sources who register as a news source. Have peers perform reviews which can lower the *Trusted Source* level when bogus lies/stories are posted. Remove the *Trusted Source *mark from all stories/shares when too many peers find fault.

Any story based with a Hearsay label that hits over 1000 shares/re-post (or whatever they are called), either gets validated+promoted or pulled from searches, pulled from re-tweets, etc.

Anything politicians known to lie over 10% say get the Hearsay label by default too.

Does that mean religious postings will get a warning label?
