There is no “flaw in Facebook’s approach”. Facebook at this point is nothing but a propaganda arm of the Republican Party. Its lies and failure to curb the spread of misinformation are part and parcel of the Republican plan to win elections by spreading lies, gerrymandering electoral districts and suppressing votes.
Judd, why do you persistently grant Facebook the benefit of this being a “flaw” in their approach? This isn’t a flaw, its deliberate. Intentionally misinforming their audience is a propaganda tactic & it’s working exactly as they want it to. There’s nothing “flawed” in what Facebook is doing, the “flaw” is in viewing it as such & assuming we can shame them into reversing course.
Intentional or not, it's still a flaw. In the context of fact-checking, the issue is that the system guided by algorithms is still faulty, Facebook knows it, and won't fix it. I don't imagine FB is unique in this respect, but it seems to be the worst actor. Additionally, I don't think the point is to shame Zuckerberg and Co. Rather, it's to arm concerned people like us to take action, including but not limited to passing on this information so others become aware of the scope of the problem.
More like Australia's NEWS CORP papers, who are mirrors of Murdoch think & should be renamed the Peoples Daily or Der Sturmer a popular paper in the 1930s.
You in the US are discovering what a lying Trump backing swine Murdoch is both of them,
Murdoch in the UK was owner of the papers done for Phone Hacking, among other things he is backing Boris Johnstone an unmitigated liar, a crook, a drunk, a serial philanderer also doubts about his honesty with Tax Payer monies
Murdoch thrives on corruption, Zuckerberg must be a soulmate, do they still have the RICO laws on the books maybe they should use them to get rid of both
Face Book. America’s version of the KGB.
More like Pravda, I think!

And guess what? It’s working.
Exactly, Ian.

A flaw is defined as ‘having a defect or imperfection’. There is no defect, no imperfection, if the tactic is working as it is intended to.
If anyone’s interested I created a thread of my thoughts on Twitter: https://twitter.com/liberalfenix/status/1196405379393044486?s=21
You’re right of course. I had forgotten about that rag.
