– Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Sept. 18, 2020, but a quote attributed to the late Supreme Court justice is making the rounds on social media. “Pedophilia is good for the children,” reads the quote, which has been shared on Facebook pages dedicated to fighting misinformation. But Facebook says the quote is false. Reuters fact-checks the post and finds that it is not a direct quote from Bader Ginsburg. Instead, it is attributed to third parties who misinterpreted legal recommendations made by Bader Ginsburg in the 1970s.
