Facebook fact-checker cracks down on 'Family Circus' meme poking fun at the ridiculousness of sex changes for children: The meme depicts a little boy who asks his father if he can "have a cigarette," "have a beer" and "drive the car" and the father responds saying "No, you’re 5." But when the child asks "Can I take hormones and change my sex?" the father responds with "Sure! You know best." PolitiFact flagged the post as false, arguing that "professional medical organizations recommend against puberty blockers for children who have not reached puberty" and "hormone treatment...is typically not considered until patients are at least 16 years old." Posts that have been fact-checked lose exposure on Facebook as they are negatively affected by the platform's algorithm.
