A New Facebook?

I peruse the news, as usual to keep abreast of the madness in our world, and I came across a curious article that portends a turn in past Facebook policy.

Everything before now that I have seen come from Facebook typified a company sold on the Liberal agenda of controlling minds by controlling information availability.  The arrogance of using position to dictate.  The same sin of many dead socialist dictatorships before Facebook.

But this turn is new.  It is the first sane statement that I have seen come out of the faceless, soulless machine that is Facebook.  The very same soulless machine that was dragged before Congress and cross-examined.

This is the first breath of humanity that I have seen of Facebook in a very long time.

The article is from Fox News, for which I also hold no particular love, but there is one statement in here that I picked up on:
"We remove things from Facebook that violate our Community standards, and we don't have a policy that stipulates that the information you post on Facebook must be true,' the company said Friday, according to ABC7 News.
This is the first time that I have seen Facebook take a stand for freedom of information, which is a fundamental pillar of any free society.  Like Thomas Jefferson said, "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, they expect what never was nor ever will be."

The duty of determining and defending truth lies with each individual in a society.  Shirking this responsibility remains the surest path to tyranny.

Think for yourself and judge everything that you see or hear critically in a holistic fashion.  All of our freedom depends on this!
