Facebook's fact-checking procedures are heavily flawed and spread misinformation themselves, the Manhattan Institute's John Tierney wrote on Monday after the social media giant flagged his article arguing mask-wearing harms children.
Facebook’s independent fact-checkers flagged Tierney's April article in the conservative think tank's City Journal about the risks of kids wearing masks, posting a disclaimer it was "mostly false." In the piece, Tierney argued masks were ineffective and even harmful for children by hurting their ability to develop linguistic skills and causing psychological damage, among other side effects.
