Facebook overrides fact-checks when climate science is “opinion”

I saw someone who was posting close-ups of nipples without specifying a gender to make the point that it isn't really that simple.

Is a trans woman's nipple OK? What about a trans man? What if the trans man has large breasts? What if a cis man has large breasts? What about the tattoo nipple of a cancer survivor?

Nothing is simple, there are value judgements at every turn. The implementation is absolutely making judgements.

I still think it is easier than defining truth.

In all above cases you could provide the reviewer with an objective yes/no answer. The reviewer does not need a PHD to know if there is a nipple in a picture.

This is not the case for questions of scientific truth, which other requires understand the scientific consensus with complex nuances.
