like social media passing the buck to their users with no regard for accuracy.

Lol this is the whole idea of the social networks - outsourcing of the work to the users (or "useds" as Stallman calls them). This used to be called "web 2.0". In other news, this also highlights one of the shortcomings behind the idea of democracy.

What does Facebook have now, a monarchy? Their moderators are way worse than Twitter fact-checking ever was.
