tchaikovskaya:tchaikovskaya:this is where “platforms have a responsibility to take down fake news!!!!” shit was always headed, for the record yall are really like “the only reason someone would not want Facebook, Inc. to be the ultimate arbiter of truth and falsehood in cyberspace is if they’re a fascist”   [Image Description: A screenshot of a tweet by ben @/ben_awareness on Twitter. The tweet was posted on December 16, 2020. The tweet says, “Instagram fully lying about the impact of the 1994 crime bill all to protect Biden’s record. This isn’t a fact check, it’s censorship.” Underneath the tweet are two images. Image 1: A meme on Instagram by bradtroemel. The image shows Bill Clinton and Joe Biden smiling at each other while sitting side-by-side. Just above the picture is text that says, “Find someone that looks at you the way Biden looked at Clinton after Clinton signed Biden’s crime bill into law. Bringing mass incarceration to Black Americans.”Image 2: A screenshot of the same post with a correction over it. The correction says, “False / The same false information was reviewed in another post by fact checkers. There may be small differences. / Independent fact-checkers say this information has no basis in fact.” Underneath the message is a short explanation for the tag. The message says, “Fact-Checker: USA Today / Conclusion: False / More Information: Fact Check: 1994 crime bill did not bring mass incarceration of Black Americans.” Underneath the message is a link to learn more about Instagram’s policies for fact checking. /End ID]Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994Did the 1994 Crime Bill Cause Mass Incarceration?The second link is defensive of police and policing, but it summarizes the impact that the bill had, overall, effectively. -- source link
