> It should not be the job of the social media companies to be judge and jury for truth. Let the people decide for themselves what is true and false

This only works if they remove themselves from choosing what to show who, what to promote, and what to demote.

As long as they are actively choosing who will see what, how often, what things will be promoted, etc. Then they are basically the judge and jury. This is their current dilemma. That's why they're starting to have stronger moderation. They'd want to actively promote things that make them money, and moderate away all things that puts them in hot water, without it affecting the money they make.
