We fired our fact-checkers, so we cannot verify whether that is true or not.

True or not, this is the outcome we deserve.

i would like to post a community note saying that i personally believe it to be true

[–] loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can assure you it is true as I was there. I was the $100 note.

They couldn't before they fired them either, so not a lot has changed. Their "fact checkers" were poorly written algorithms that frequently flagged benign content as misinformation.
