"Under the new rules, Facebook has said it will create partnerships with local civil society groups to identify misinformation for removal." - how do these "civil society groups" determine what is information vs misinformation?

I assume they will not operate in a vacuum and weigh sources according to their track record of human rights abuses. Despite attempts in recent years by abusers to convince everyone that all sources are equally bad, human history is recorded and not all organizations and governments are egregiously as bad as others

"human rights abuses"... so they will lean left, like that Twitter committee.

If it hasn't already happened, the internal policies will devolve to removing anything it determines will lead to violence.

I have no strong opinions on this.
