Are you against censorship? Do you think that censorship and fact checking are interchangeable concepts? Then you're against fact-checking, right? Your first comment barely even mentions fact checking, you use the word "censorship" pretty much exclusively.

So if I'm misunderstanding you, it's because you aren't expressing your point clearly. As I already said, you're blending together several different concepts and not being at all precise about which one you mean in which part of your argument.

You've done the same thing here. Government interference, fact-checking, search term blocking, factual errors about how fact-checking and community emotes actually work, you can't jumble all these things together and then say I don't understand your argument. You don't appear to understand your argument.

And no, come on, this 70 hours things is ridiculous. A 70 hour delay in posting a single tweet doesn't matter much when you have a million followers. But a 70 hour delay in catching a lie sent out to a million followers matters a great deal.

How often do you see a tweet, say, and go back and check it again 3 days later? Zero times, right? Now imagine we live in a crazy world where algorithms also keep you in an information bubble that feeds you more content from the same kind of liar the first tweet was from?

Just imagine, after you've seen the same lie 10 times, somebody you've never heard of, who these liars tell you is a "leftist" or a communist or is trying to destroy your way of life, tells you the truth. What do you think you're more likely to accept?

This is happening a thousand times a day, every day, on dozens of important topics.

And again, if you're suggesting improvements to fact checking (even though the "improvements" you're suggesting is what fact checking was often like, at least on Twitter, I don't use Facebook), then we agree! Because that's what I'm suggesting. I say, more than once, that fact-checking should be improved and should be more transparent. I said it should be less vulnerable to government interference.

I'm simply also saying that doing any with it entirely, which is what Zuckerberg is doing, is cynical bulls**t that will leave us even more confused and divided while saving him money and giving him and his billionaire buddies more power.
