Zuckerberg's Meta Meltdown: Fact-Check Fail

 Mark Zuckerberg Is Done Listening to His UsersSlate Magazine, By Nitish Pahwa, on January 8, 2025https://slate.com/technology/2025/01/mark-zuckerberg-meta-fact-checking-announcement-elon-musk-trump.htmlMark Zuckerberg's decision to replace third-party fact-checkers with community-based content moderation at Meta has sparked significant debate. Citing the inherent biases of experts, Zuckerberg claims this shift aligns with Meta's commitment to free expression. Critics argue this move opens the door to increased misinformation and erodes accountability, reminiscent of past controversies like the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Skeptics worry this decision conveniently follows political pressures, potentially enabling unchecked political propaganda. While some view this as an effort to reduce perceived censorship, others fear it could amplify hate speech and conspiracy theories. Concerns persist about whether this change genuinely promotes free speech or prioritizes profit over public safety.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.03.1 featuring Scott Dickie, Chris Mallard and Eli SlackBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

He speaks to insiders, including Steve Bannon, about the President's ambitions for empire-building. Could he really take over Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal? And if not, what is he really hoping to achieve? Academic and long-time friend of J.D.

Freddy and James joined the podcast, just before Freddy heads off to cover Trump's inauguration.

Le 7 janvier le patron de Meta Mark Zuckerberg a annoncé la fin prochaine aux Etats-Unis de son programme de "fact-checking". En résumé, il n'y aura plus sur Facebook et Instagram de programmes de vérification des contenus par des médias tiers. Ces articles, aussi appelés "fact-checks", étaient publiés par Meta quand certains posts s'avéraient inexacts ou trompeurs. Les post n'étaient pas supprimés, mais ils étaient accompagnés de ces textes. L'ONU, le Conseil de l'Europe et des leaders internationaux s'alarment des conséquences graves que risque d'entraîner la fin du programme aux Etats-Unis. Joe Biden a lui dénoncé vendredi une décision "vraiment honteuse". "La vérité compte", a déclaré le président américain à la presse depuis la Maison Blanche.Le fact-checking est un rouage essentiel de la lutte contre la désinformation, et les manipulations qui déstabilisent les régimes démocratiques.L'AFP est aussi concernée puisque le fact-checking c'est une de ses activités principales et qu'elle fait partie des médias partenaires de Facebook. Pour en parler, Sur le Fil a invité Julie Charpentrat, rédactrice en chef chargée de l'investigation numérique, qui nous a expliqué comment ça marche, comment travaillent les “fact-checkers” et en quoi ces programmes sont nécessaires.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/01/09/meta-facebook-fact-checking/In this episode, I dissect the implications of censorship following Meta's decision to halt its fact-checking initiatives. I contend that censorship manipulates our mental landscape and undermines personal autonomy, revealing significant failures in our educational system. Exploring the power dynamics involved, I question the responsible use of censorship by advocates and highlight how political biases shape information moderation. I argue for a shift towards empowering individuals to navigate information independently, underscoring the vital role of free speech in preserving personal liberty and fostering societal growth.GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Also get the Truth About the French Revolution, multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material, as well as targeted AIs for Real-Time Relationships, BitCoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-Ins.

This week on Hafta, Newslaundry's Abhinandan Sekhri, Jayashree Arunachalam, and Manisha Pande are joined by author Amitava Kumar and academic Joyojeet Pal.The panel discusses Amitava's new book The Green Book: An Observer's Notebook, and Amitava explains the role that journaling plays in his life. “Journaling is a means of self-discovery and a tool to document our times. Personal narratives can preserve truths and challenge erasures of history,” he says. He also says journaling helps counteract misinformation since it's “about creating a record that endures beyond fleeting news cycles”. Manisha adds that reading her own journals from her childhood “makes me cringe at times, but they're a reminder of how far I've come”.The conversation shifts to Meta's decision to terminate its fact-checking partnerships. Joyojeet warns, “Abandoning fact-checking opens the floodgates for radicalised communities to define their own truths.”Jayashree says, “ A lot of this is about changing things that are associated with liberalism. And that's exactly what that revised policy says. It says that you can now make allegations of mental illness or abnormality based on gender and sex. You're allowed to compare people to faces and filth based on protected characteristics.”The panel also explores Elon Musk's controversial claim that social media is the new media, how algorithms shape narratives, and a lot more.

Meta will get rid of fact-checkers, “dramatically reduce the amount of censorship” and recommend more political content on its platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Threads, founder Mark Zuckerberg has announced. In a video message, Zuckerberg vowed to prioritize free speech after the return of Donald Trump to the White House and said that, starting in the US, he would “get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X”. Zuckerberg said Meta's “fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created”. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast discuss the move from Zuckerberg, and the sordid history of fact checking at Facebook. Plus segments on callous Israelis' total lack of concern for the deaths of children in Gaza and Democrat dead-enders rallying in DC on January 6th to register their objection to the Trump presidency.

The Washington Roundtable discusses Mark Zuckerberg's decision to end its fact-checking program across Meta's social-media sites. Instead, Meta will release a tool that allows readers to add context and corrections to posts, similar to the way one can leave a “community note” on X. What does this choice mean for truth online in the coming Trump Administration, and have “alternative facts,” as they were dubbed by Kellyanne Conway in 2017, won out?
