Facebook fact checks oil pipeline meme: Facebook fact-checked a user for sharing a meme comparing the environmental impact of oil pipelines and lithium mines. The image made the oil pipeline appear minimally invasive. The lithium mine appeared to destroy the environment and take up a large amount of land. According to a purported screenshot, Facebook claimed the post included "partly false information" and added a notice to the user's post. The platform also linked to a fact check article. Fact-checked posts lose exposure and are negatively affected by the platform's algorithm.
