Facebook VP admits its "fact checkers" could be politically biased
 
Facebook's "fact checkers" have their own agendas and could be politically biased according to admissions by its Vice President to a top official of the European Union.  Nick Clegg, a former leader of the UK's Liberal Democratic Party and former Deputy Prime Minister, now works as Vice President of Facebook  and his remarks are contained in minutes of his meeting with the Vice President of the European Commission.
 
The minutes state: 'He [Mr Clegg] also stressed that independent fact-checkers are not necessarily objective because they have their own agenda.'

Former UK Cabinet Minister David Jones described Mr Clegg's comments as 'deeply worrying'.  He added: 'The admission completely destroys the credibility of Facebook's own procedures. It offers news organisations no right of appeal when it censors them, even though it may have acted on the advice of fact-checkers who are motivated by 'their own agenda'.'

 
Facebook is one of the Big Tech companies which has been condemned for its censorship of conservatives around the world.  Its fake "fact checkers" are the fig leaf they offer to try to justify their censorship.
