Meta will no longer have any facts controller in the SH.BA on Monday, according to the head of the Global Affairs official Joel Kaplan.
Meta announced this significant change in politics in January when it also released its content moderation rules.
The time of this change coincided with the inauguration of President Trump, whom the founder and CEO of Meta Mark Zuckerberg participated after donating $ 1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund. Around the same time, Zuckerberg added Dana White, a long ally of Trump and UFC CEO, on board Meta.
“The latest elections also feel like a temporary cultural point to prioritize once again in speech,” Zuckerberg said in a video announcing moderation changes.
However, some of the speeches that Zuckerberg is so intended to prioritize come to the expense of marginalized people.
“We allow claims of mental illness or anomaly when based on sex or sexual orientation, given the political and religious discourse on transgenderism and homosexuality,” the policy of hate meta.
Meta is modeling her new efforts to control facts after community notes at Elon Musk’s X, which places the moderation part in part to other users than paid professionals.
“Instead of fact checks, the first community notes will begin to gradually appear on Facebook, Threads & Instagram, without attached penalties,” Kaplan wrote to X.
While this community -based approach to content modification can sometimes provide an important context for fraudulent or controversial posts, it works better at the same time with other content moderation tools, which Meta is eliminating.
Meta’s biggest currency is the attention of its users, and less content moderation means that there are more posts for people to see – plus, the fountain of meta tends to contain content that generates a strong reaction.
Already, as Meta began to return its fact -control programs again, the fake content has begun to spread. A Facebook page manager who spread the viral claim that ICE would pay for people $ 750 to postpone them regarding non -documentary immigrants, Propublica told that the end of the fact control program is “excellent information”.
“We are getting rid of a number of restrictions on topics such as immigration, gender identity and gender that are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate,” Kaplan wrote in January. “It is not right that things can be said on TV or on the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms.”
