Who Fact Checks the 'Fact Checkers' On the Origin of the CCP Virus (Coronavirus)?
The Epoch Times published an investigative documentary looking into the origins of the new coronavirus, the CCP Virus, on April 7. The video rapidly went viral on multiple platforms, with more than 70 million views. Then Facebook flagged the video as \u201cFalse,\u201d and sent alerts to people who shared the video, alleging they had shared false information.
After reviewing the claims, The Epoch Times responded, and noted in an open letter that the Facebook fact check contained a factual error, a conflict of interest, and had other issues that call into question whether the \u201cFalse\u201d label was warranted.
And the World Health Organization (WHO) has been deeply involved in an information campaign against the so-called \u201cinfodemic\u201d of information about the virus, and has worked closely with social networks to contest what it deems as \u201cmisinformation.\u201d This comes as the WHO is being globally criticized for spreading the Chinese regime\u2019s false information on the virus.
