Facebook and Instagram owner Meta said Tuesday it's scrapping its third-party fact checking programme and replacing it with a Community Notes programme written by users similar to the model used by Elon Musk's social media platform X.
Starting in the US, Meta will end its fact checking programme with independent third parties. The company said it decided to end the programme because expert fact checkers had their own biases and too much content ended up being fact checked.

Starting in the US, Meta will end its fact checking programme with independent third parties. The company said it decided to end the programme because expert fact checkers had their own biases and too much content ended up being fact checked.
Instead, it will pivot to a Community Notes model.
바카라We've seen this approach work on X 바카라 where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context,바카라 Meta's Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan said in a blog post.
The social media company also said plans to allow 바카라more speech바카라 by lifting some restrictions on some topics that are part of mainstream discussion in order to focus on illegal and 바카라high severity violations바카라 like terrorism, child sexual exploitation and drugs.
Meta said that its approach of building complex systems to manage content on its platforms has 바카라gone too far바카라 and has made 바카라too many mistakes바카라 and censored too much content.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that the changes are in part sparked by of Donald Trump's presidential election victory.
바카라The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards tower once again prioritising speech,바카라 Zuckerberg said in an online video.
