Meta Shifts Focus to Free Speech with New Community Notes System


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm not a FB user, have an account but no activity. There is no way I am ever going to use FB after they censored before and there was the mic drop where Merkel asked him what he was going to do about posts against her mass immigration decision and to hurry up about it.

 

I wouldn't give FB the drippings from my nose.

 

I am also able to use Grok to much better effect than Google search and welcome not having to use that politically censored woke search engine anymore.

 

If anybody wants, I'll tell you how I really feel.

"Meta Says Fact-Checkers Were the Problem. Fact-Checkers Rule That False.
 

Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, blamed the company’s fact-checking partners for some of Facebook’s moderation issues, saying in a video that “fact-checkers have been too politically biased” and have “destroyed more trust than they created."

Fact-checking groups that worked with Meta have taken issue with that characterization, saying they had no role in deciding what the company did with the content that was fact-checked."

This is why I despise them/him.

It is interesting that many left wing DEI policies are being dropped by companies as Trump ushers in the new age of Freedom of Speech. Even companies such as Meta are opening up and realizing that Biden and the Democrats have been suppressing the freedoms of the good citizens of the United States. Good times are here again.

So very true and the left wing pundits are falling in line with the American voters that want a change to the draconian laws inflicted on the them by the Democrats and senile Biden.

I am a proponent of free speech, but I never take anything I read on Meta or any other social media platform as factual. In fact, it's becoming increasingly problematic to find factual information anywhere on the Internet. Just read and enjoy them as you would, listening to stories told by a group sitting around a table and drinking beer at a bar. Just don't depend on anything you hear or read. 

I know many will disagree with me on this, but I do trust CNN. They do make mistakes once in a while, but then they acknowledge and correct them. That's, of course, IMO.

This is great news:

Bye-bye FACTCHECKERS and Good Riddance!

They’re fired.

Yesterday, Wired ran a surprising free-speech story headlined, “Meta’s Fact-Checking Partners Say They Were ‘Blindsided’ by Decision to Axe Them.” In other words, Facebook fired the fact-checkers, effective immediately, without notice, no severance. They’re done. The sub-headline explained, “Fact-checkers claim they had no idea the company was going to end their partnerships and are scrambling to figure out the financial implications of the move.”

Never mind about the fact checkers, what about individuals that will not allow debate outside of said narratives?

 

Plenty of them about. Even more that can't see the wood for the trees.
