I'd find that more reasonable if Facebook said "we're not fact-checking anything, work it out yourselves", or tagged these articles as "exempted from fact-checking". Offering to flag false stories creates an expectation which is violated when you fail to distinguish "true" from "unchecked". Separately I don't think we should equate mental health with mental hygiene here. Mental health might make the difference between "believing untrue things" and "showing up somewhere with a gun and no particular plan", but it's hardly a precondition for accepting wildly improbable and untrue claims. |
