What if the employees at Facebook instead asked &quot;What ethical responsibility do we have to ensure that we, as the <i>primary distributor of news in the world</i>, do some <i>minimal amount</i> of fact checking.&quot;<p>The goal shouldn&#x27;t be to &quot;stop Trump&quot; — that&#x27;s not what we want a news distributor to do. I don&#x27;t want bias against a particular person in my news distributors. What I want is for  my <i>news distributors</i> to actually have ethical standards that enable them to <i>serve the public good</i> (and as a by product hopefully prevent lying demagogue&#x27;s from gaining power).<p>Is it &quot;bias&quot; to use a standardized method or algorithm (even one that involves humans reading natural language&quot;) to filter content by accuracy and provide some interface indication not just for phishing, and for porn, but also for falsehoods?
