We've also witnessed the fallacy of this argument. It assumes that there is an authority that we can all trust to be objective and not a vested interested that either ignores or skews evidence and narratives one way or the other out of self-interest. Who should be the ones determining what is "true"?

Do you really think Facebook should be the arbiter of truth? If not, which authority should be choosing which information is not ok?
