plenty of my FB posts got censored on the (invalid) grounds that they violated community standards. Seems that eliminating factchecking isn't going to do anything about that.
E.g., I re-shared a local newspaper's post about a local children's choir winning a competition. The post had a photo of a bunch of kids with their fists in the air, cheering. FB censored my post for inciting violence. Rejected my appeal too.
