Conservative firebrand Candace Owens is celebrating her first major victory in her legal battle against Facebook's "fact-checkers."Owens, a political author and commentator, challenged Facebook's left-leaning fact-checking partner PolitiFact over a “false” rating — and won.Earlier this month, Owens announced that she was suing the "third-party fact-checkers" used by social media platforms.Owens launched the case because she became tired of being censored on social media by third-party fact-checkers, as well as seeing fellow conservatives being silenced on Twitter and Facebook.

 
Not only did PolitiFact remove their “false” rating and retract an article that claimed Owens’ video false, but the site offered an added “correction” admitting that she was right and they were wrong.Owens post was targeted by the "fact-checker" because it correctly stated the fact that Joe Biden has not officially been declared the "president-elect," despite the media labeling him that way.Have your say - ⇓ Hit the comments below ⇓

Owens’ video, which was posted on November 12, offered commentary on the 2020 presidential election, and was captioned, “Joe Biden is literally and legally not the President-elect. So why is the media pretending he is?”The video was hit with a “false” rating, and, as noted by Owens, theoretically, every single person who shared the post was alerted by Facebook that they had shared “false” content.TRENDING: Washington Post Compares Denying Election Results to Denying The HolocaustEach "false" rating a website or page gets hit with adds up to limit the reach of all other posts, meaning several "false" ratings can drastically reduce the audience that news outlets can reach online - a devastatingly effective way to silence conservative media.Owens celebrated her first victory in the case against the social media behemoths on Saturday.“Weeks ago, [Facebook] censored a post of mine which truthfully stated that [Joe Biden] is NOT the President-elect,” Owens said via Twitter.
