Facebook fact-check: from Hillary's health to 9/11, the latest lies we read

In a new column, we find the bogus stories, clickbait and disinformation framed as legitimate 'trending' news by one of the most powerful companies on Earth

In the weeks since Facebook fired the humans who curated its "trending" news feed, its algorithmic floodgates opened up for fake stories, conspiracy theories and internet bile. This week, the company insisted it is a "neutral" platform that needs no editors, even while it censored art, spread false news and deleted a post by Norway's prime minister because it included a Pulitzer-winning photo from the Vietnam war. The leader had called for Facebook to "review its editing policy", and the company eventually restored the post.

In a semi-regular column, we'll highlight what Facebook doesn't want to: the bogus stories, clickbait and disinformation being framed as legitimate news by one of the most powerful tech companies on Earth.
