It's almost like Facebook itself doesn't understand -- or is being willfully blind -- to internet culture.
I mean, how could exempting things from fact-checking provided they are 'opinion' ever possibly backfire?

Facebook to be Arbiter of Facts vs Opinion. Good thing that's a clearly delineated line that is not at all fraught right now.
This climate change / fact-checking story is weedsy, seemingly dry and less "urgent" or sexy than a lot of the high-profile content moderation stuff happening right now but for my money is one of the most important.
The last quote makes it sound like maybe the fact-checkers will be making the call after all... I dunno, it's almost like these policies are intentionally obscure. Are they policies or opinions? Who knows.
Okay! Fact-check from FB on NYT piece on fact-checking: Opinion is eligible for fact-checking & fact-checkers will be the ones checking if there's facts to check or if it's opinion.
I guess the NYT piece vs FB statement is just a difference of opinion?
