…surprising no one…
Well…soon there will be no fact-checkers. How will they take down critical content then?
So Meta!
“We fired our content moderation team because we believe in free speach… Wait, no, not like that!”
“Freedom of exclusively my speech”
Screen shots are harder to sensor.
AI is probably making that a little harder though.
404 Media knocking it out of the park as usual. This is one of those independent outlets which has been doing consistently awesome journalism. I especially like it when they get targeted for their work, because they are never afraid to call out the hypocrisy or bullshit, they thrive on it.
The silver lining here is that Facebook was already increasingly a waste of our time. The only reason we’re able to share our stories via our official Facebook page is that we’ve fully automated that process, because it is not actually worth our time to post our stories there organically. Since before we started 404 Media, we knew there was very little chance that Facebook would help us reach people, grow our audience, and make the case that people should support our journalism, so in a way we lost nothing because there’s nothing to lose. On the other hand, that perspective is based on us having already accepted Facebook’s rejection of our journalism years ago.
Their podcast is also very solid, worth a listen.
Shouldn’t it just be a community note like: this is absolutely true but we don’t like it? lol
Yeah. If they were an ethically responsible company.
And we all know they’re not, so…
