Meta officially says goodbye to its US fact-checkers on Monday

Meta will not have any facts in the United States that comes on Monday, according to the chief global affairs employee Joel Kaplan.

Meta announced a change of important policy in January when it also reduced the rules of moderation in the content.

The timing of this change coincided with the inauguration of President Trump, which was attended by the founder of death and CEO Mark Zuckerberg after donating a million dollars to the Trump opening fund. Almost at the same time, Zuckerberg added Dana White, Trump’s ally for a long time and UFC CEO, to the Meta panel.

“The last elections are also similar to a cultural turning point towards determining the priorities of speech again,” Zuckerberg said in a video announcement of moderation changes.

However, some discourse that intends to Zuckerberg is determined to give priority at the expense of the marginalized.

“We allow allegations of mental illness or anomalies when they are based on sex or sexual orientation, given the political and religious discourse about transgender people and homosexuality,” says a hateful dead behavior policy.

Meta is designing its new efforts that define the facts after the community’s notes at Elon Musk’s X, which puts the responsibility of moderation in part for other users instead of paid professionals.

“Instead, the first societal notes will gradually appear via Facebook and Threads & Instagram, with no penalties attached,” Kaplan wrote on X.

Although this community -based approach in moderate content can sometimes provide an important context of misleading or controversial functions, it works better along with other content baptism tools, which Meta removes.

The greatest Meta currency is the attention of its users, and the least moderate content means that there are more posts that people can see – in addition, the Meta news feeding tends to surface content that generates a strong reaction.

Indeed, when Meta began to back down from fact -examination programs, the wrong content began to spread. The Director of Facebook Pages, who published the fake prosecution, told ICE to pay $ 750 to direct them on immigrants who have no documents, ProPublica that the end of the fact -verification program is “great information”.

Kaplan wrote in January: “We get rid of a number of restrictions on topics such as immigration, sexual identity and sex that are the subject of repeated political discourse and discussion.” “It is not right to say things on TV or congress Hall, but not on our platforms.”
