"Fact-checkers" are now a thing on facebook. How are third-party fact-checkers selected? Third-party fact-checkers on Facebook have applied to be signatories to the non-partisan "International Fact-Checking Network Code of Principles." Third-party fact-checkers investigate stories in a journalistic process meant to result in establishing the truth or falsity of the story. Yet, this system is not what it seems...

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes; "Who watches the watch men?" or in other words, who fact checks the fact checkers?
This may accomplish some good, but the potential for abuse is immediately obvious. People can flood the system with fake reports of fake news, either to punish websites and news organizations they dislike or to subvert the fake-news-flagging process itself. Obfuscating the Truth further and further. The Truth can be very well occulted within a system like this. Under the mask of expanding competition, it tightens the flow of new information. The idea of "fake news" has been used in reverse to provide a pathway for more information control systems to be implemented. This is one of many that will be reveled in for the neo occult technocracy.

Once people start relying on a "automated truth discovery program," they now have taken one more step towards a total monopoly over information, a willful step into the mind cage. This is like when the Rothschild's bought up all the major printing press's, and publishing company's in the world to control the flow of information. The ultimate hierarchical pyramid scheme for the tip toe approach towards an Orwellian state. This is a political weapon, the Overton window, also known as the window of discourse.

"You will not have your own thoughts, and emotions only the ones they give you."

There are Truths that machines (currently) will not be able to process, let alone understand. Etymologically, machines (currently) can not understand the Spiritual Truths. There is the fact that the programs are subject to the individual in control of the tech. History can easily be rewritten with this tech. It would also limit critical thinking, contemplation would be of no use to the drone of this system. An age of anti-intelligencism. The Truth must be open source, and decentralized.

Good reason to stay off Facebook!

When those in power fear people know truth, the "truth" will be changed to satisfy those in power.

Exactly, thus why I'm moving more of my work onto this network.
