Subhead: Evidence showing Facebook is giving right-wing pages preferential treatment when it comes to misinformation

"misinformation strikes against Breitbart had been cleared by someone at Facebook seemingly acting on the publication's behalf"

"all misinformation strikes against Breitbart’s page and against their domain cleared without explanation"

"policy people have been intervening in fact-checks on behalf of exclusively right-wing publishers, to avoid them getting repeat-offender status"

"senior Facebook engineer collected multiple instances of conservative figures receiving unique help from Facebook employees, including those on the policy team, to remove fact-checks on their content. His July post was removed because it violated the company’s 'respectful communication policy'"

As usual, the first rule of a "respectful communication policy" is "disagreeing with the policy-makers is disrespectful".
