Right so those with the privilege of deciding who the good guys are and what constitutes misinformation are current political parties and financial interests. Which is great, because governments have never been responsible for orchestrating their own attacks and campaigns of misinformation. I'm so glad we can trust Facebook to have our best interest at heart.

At least there is some level of accountability and transparency potential for elected officials. I don't see how we would be better off by having a small number of private individuals making these decisions for us.
Why not neither?

Why do we afford Facebook the right to decide for us at all?
