However, Facebook has censored some of the obviously fictional onesfor "False Information" that were checked by "Independent fact-checkers".

For instance, check out this COVID-19 meme featuring Cthulhu, the iconic cosmic entity created by writer H.P. Lovecraft. This meme was posted on the Fantasy and Sci-Fi Rock My World Facebook page:

Thanks for confirming that Cthulhu doesn't exist, Independent fact-checkers!

Another post from Coronavirus Public Meme Service, aFacebook dedicated to Coronavirus memes, got the same kind of censorship:

Maybe Facebook memers need their own multipass:
