WTF dude? Did you even actually read what was written in the Meta letter?

While the 3 points that this House Judiciary GOP account mentioned were all factually true, the way they are presented together is clearly meant to mislead.

I don't have much to say about #1 since the remark is simply far too general to make any reasonable comment on. Depending on a lot of other contextual and background information, #1 could be spun into a good, bad, neutral thing, or anything in between.

#2 is kind of similar, although I would also say that FB pretty much did this since their early days, and if any FB user were to claim that they didn't know that's what FB did, they'd be idiots.

#3 is particularly meaningless. It happened because on FB's own accord, they were trying to fact check the news. IMO for a credible news / social media platform, presenting credible information is more important than delivering that new information at breakneck speed. And because of that, it isn't even about free speech.

Assuming that Twitter account is managed by official GOP staff, it's a shame that the GOP is intentionally trying to mislead people.
