Do you really want Frontline facebook moderation staff (or many levels between) having the ability to run the kinds of queries required to validate country of origin or other privacy-invading points of validations required?
I don't.
And it takes time for those kinds of queries to reach the (very busy) desks of the purposefully constrained few, who can.
Because there were and are few better more accessible news aggregation options. (Edit- for the general less technically minded folks).
Here we are on the fediverse trying to change that. Make sure you preach outside of the echo chamber.
