Facebook is now claiming official CDC.gov links are “False Information”
I actually verified this yesterday on my own FB acount.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;5tgkbFL" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;5tgkbFL</a><p>Not sure if it&#x27;s still happening, but you can test it if you make the post visible to only you and you wait ~5 minutes for that misinformation message to show up.<p>Even <i>if</i> the fact checker had some kind of point, I don&#x27;t know how labeling an authoritative source as &quot;false information&quot; helps anyone understand anything just because part of the information might be outdated.<p>Nevertheless, the level of carelessness upon which this mechanism seems to have been built upon is an embarrassment.
