Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta will stop working with third-party fact-checking organizations.
“After Trump was first elected in 2016, legacy media continued to write nonstop stories about how disinformation is a threat to democracy. We will be the arbiters of truth,” Zuckerberg said. Despite our efforts to address these concerns in good faith, fact checkers are far too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they had built, especially in the United States. .”
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Tuesday that the social media company that owns Facebook and Instagram will stop working with third-party fact-checking organizations.
In the video, Zuckerberg reiterated an argument that President-elect Donald Trump and his allies have used for years, saying the company's approach to content moderation too often leads to “censorship.”
“After Trump was first elected in 2016, legacy media continued to write nonstop stories about how disinformation is a threat to democracy. “We have tried to address these concerns in this way,” Zuckerberg said. “But fact checkers are far too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they built, especially in the United States.”
Joe Biden condemned Zuckerberg's decision, calling it “shameful.”
Outgoing President Biden addressed CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to end the fact-checking program on Meta's platform, saying this is because “telling the truth is important.” He said it was a “truly shameful” choice.
“I think the whole idea of moving away from fact-checking and not reporting anything that has to do with discrimination is contrary to American justice. It's important to tell the truth,” Biden said Friday in the Roosevelt Room. He spoke to reporters during an unexpected and unusual question and answer session.
“I don't know what that is all about. It's completely contrary to American ideals,” he added. “We want to tell the truth. The idea that a billionaire buys something and says he doesn't fact-check it and then millions of people read it is a real shame.” I think so.”
