The only logical choice is a twitter style community notes but even that can be compromised.
Facebook just needs a huge disclaimer on the page that says they can't verify the truth of anything being posted including "News" and thats all they can do. Stupid people will still get their news from facebook regardless.

Because he's lying. So you listened to 30 minutes, and now believe Facebook was the one checking. They weren't. He's saying this to make it sound like it would be something a reasonable person wouldn't want, so that he can build support. Did Joe call him out on this? Of course not. This is why dudes like Joe are a major problem. They platformed a liar and now reasonably minded people think Facebook was the arbiter of truth.
No, the reality is they had a third party do it, and that's what still happens in Canada.

To fight the spread of misinformation and provide people with more reliable information, Meta partners with independent third-party fact-checkers that are certified through the non-partisan International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). We don't think a private company like Meta should be deciding what’s true or false, which is exactly why we have a global network of fact-checking partners who independently review and rate potential misinformation across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Their work enables us to take action and reduce the spread of problematic content across our apps.

It's always worth fact checking the guy who is bailing on fact checking. Particularly when he says it on Joe Rogan. Perfect example of misinformation.
