The president strongly criticized Meta’s decision to replace factchecking department with community notes
Summary
President Joe Biden criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to replace factchecking with community-moderated notes, calling it "really shameful" and "contrary to American justice."
Zuckerberg defended the move, claiming factchecking undermined public trust and stating the company aims to prioritize free speech.
The decision follows Meta's rollback of diversity and inclusion programs amid legal and political shifts.
Biden, in his final press call as president, emphasized the importance of countering misinformation, labeling Meta’s approach irresponsible and harmful to truth and public discourse.
Yeah, since when is TikTok getting banned for showing pro-Palestine content? The only thing I've ever read or heard about it is the US government being scared of Chinese spying.
Not saying that's a good excuse either. I just think your statement is incorrect.
Also sorta funny and ironic you're spreading misinformation while complaining about misinformation.
"You have a social media ecosystem environment in which context, history, facts get lost, and the emotion — the impact of images — dominates," Blinken said.
Romney replied, "Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites — it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts."
