How many times must Facebook be caught censoring the truth?
Justice Louis Brandeis hit upon robust speech as its own corrective measure. “If there be
time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies,” he wrote, “the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence.” Facebook, it seems, has lost the plot. Absent policy measures to break Facebook’s scale, limit the platform’s ideological moderation or legal changes which give users more accountability, it is unlikely to get it back.
