As CNN has reported, “Facebook’s fact-checkers will need to stop fact-checking former President Donald Trump following the announcement that he is running for president, according to a company memo obtained by CNN.”

JACK POSOBIEC (GUEST): Well, folks, I'd just like to say that I'm very honored to be here this evening, and to formally announce that, yes, I Jack Michael Posobiec will be running for the presidency in 2024. I hope that everyone – Charlie, you're not age-eligible yet to run for president, so you won't be able to do this. But, apparently, according to CNN – which, a new article I just read, like, five seconds ago from the great Donie O'Sullivan, we all love him – he said that Facebook has a memo that says if you're running for president, that you can't be fact-checked. Did you see this? Andrew, I know I sent you a copy.
...
So, I said great, we could all announce that we're running for president. You don't have to register, you don't even have to vote for yourself. But as long as you're running for president, that means no longer you can be fact-checked on Facebook. That included Instagram, by the way, that includes whatever else is tied -- Mark Zuckerberg owns, like, half the internet right now. So, yes, I am formally running for president right now and I hope that everyone else does as well.
