Facts are facts. The pope did not endorse Donald Trump. That is a fact.

How does Facebook, without making a choice about what method to use, determine that the pope didn't endorse Donald Trump?

If Facebook makes a choice of method, it's fundamentally political, as all group choices are.

Thus, Facebook can't escape the political nature of that task: epistemology requires a philosophical position, and a philosophocal position being adopted is a choice (for an organization), and all group decisions are inherently political.
