Facebook and the NSA

[dothedew]

Now that the fact-checking component of Facebook has been thrown out the window, will the data really be worth hacking/collecting?

Yes - In my opinion, it's worth even more now than it was during the onslaught of fact checking.

Without the fear of checks (which many articles hilariously enough admitted to the meat of whatever was posted being factual, but proceeded to add information that was never part of the post in question thus leading it to be "false" or "inaccurate") and that increased layer of censorship, people are going to be more likely to post accurate, unbiased information from non-mainstream sources sorry, ***misinformation***, which will in turn lead to more scrutiny, storage, searches and stockpiling of data, tracking, and everything in between.

Essentially, they're hoping that more red blooded, free thinking, propaganda fighting individuals, sorry, ***extremists*** come out of the woodwork.
