    The old system of using fact-checking agencies was biased, and the content they deemed false had its reach negatively impacted. They were literally the arbiters of truth, and their actions silenced their political opponents’ voices. The new system of Community Notes is superior because it requires approval from people with diverse political alignments to show a fact-check to everyone.

      Because remember you need a Nazi and a tankie to agree with facts in order for it to be the real truth.

      Sometimes reality doesn’t align with political views. Doesn’t mean it’s not facts

        I thought you just believed the opposite of whatever your political adversaries believed, because they were always lying

        So you’re set to automatically complain unless the fact-check aligns perfectly with your worldview?
