An AI whose job is to show Facebook users when a post is false, and cite articles to prove it. Unfortunately, it has several major flaws that turn it into a laughing stock:
Problem 1: It is extremely left-wing biased to the point of censorship. You will NEVER see a liberal post getting fact-checked, but by golly, they will slap every conservative post with a "false/misleading info" tag if it paints President Biden in a bad light. (But then again, it's Mark Zuckerberg. What'd you expect?)
Problem 2: It is denser than a black hole. It cannot detect sarcasm in posts at all, and will fact-check the stupidest posts that are obviously jokes.
Problem 3: The sources it cites are often not credible; see Problem 1.
Problem 4: Sometimes, the sources used actually prove that the post is indeed true, which is exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

Get the Facebook Fact-Checkermug. A troll who has no life, or real friends for obvious reasons, constantly stalks his friends list not to contribute in a "friend like" manor but to use google to "fact check" each and every post made and then report how the poster has inaccurately represented their thoughts/opinions.
Me: God Damn Eric is such an annoying fuck - Its almost like he waits for anyone to make a Facebook post so he can google that shit only to try to make his lonely ass look smart.
