To some extent, yes. Some fact checks are obvious lies of course, falsified to disprove initial claim (talking from conspiracy theory supporter's side). It's really complicated topic.

Definitely. I just think there’s a tendency to let perfection be the enemy of the good here: there are thorny philosophical issues but the vast majority of this stuff is not that hard to recognize as fraudulent. Facebook and Twitter tried to ignore the problem to save money, not because it was hard.
