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."
Hey, we allow American children to work in mines, they love it! We've also found this neat method at our borders that if you separate families they get really desperate and stressed out. To the point they might just turn around and leave if we ever let them out of our camps.
Hey non-voting lefties! Join us in appreciating the last time you'll see a President say something that's not only factually correct, but is in line with your personal beliefs!
it's great to see biden's doing pretty much all of the absolutely fucking nothing that i expected, before he politely and peacefully hands us all over to fascism.
get fucked joe. the ineffectual finger-wagging and sternly worded bullshit response to the country collapsing around you is a big reason people can't stand democrats
edit: LOL that's a perfect analogy-- biden's response to everything = downvotes/mad face emoji 😡
Don't you worry your lefty little head about that! Donald Trump is totally going to make you wish you had done the one measly little thing you could have the one time it mattered!
But sure, get some good ol' Genocide Joe-ing in while you can. Tell us all about it!
It looks like politics is now a wholly owned subsidiary of lefty punk-ass idiots. Well, we'll enjoy their hot takes on their new god emperor with no clothes for four exciting vomitous years.
Thanks lefties! Enjoy your self righteousness.
For anyone relatively new to lemmy, "lefty" is apparently different from "liberal" by an incredibly large amount, although they'll need to explain it because I don't know.
