“Meta has already clarified that, at this time, it is terminating its independent Fact-Checking Program only in the United States, where we will test and refine the community notes feature before expanding to other countries,” Meta told Brazil’s Attorney General of the Union (AGU) in a Portuguese-translated letter.
All this drama is a distraction to make us believe they had fact checkers before.
They did though. It was shit but I can confirm it existed for reasons that I don’t think I’m still under NDA for but I’d rather not risk it… did you know that there’s a conspiracy theory about a Nazi base in Antarctica?

This being a conspiracy theory is so disappointing to hear, I prefer my nazis far away.
they did the fact checkers were just from right wing groups like the daily caller foundation
Sure, they’re being regulated in other countries. I guess in the EU for example, it’s the Digital Services Act and other legislation which mandate moderation, cutting down on hate and disinformation. They’d need to be sanctioned if they don’t comply. Or leave the market if they don’t like the law…
I wonder how they determine what needs to be moderated under which country’s rules. If one were to start accessing FB from the US through a VPN set to somewhere in the EU, if that would result in showing the user a moderated feed.
It should, especially in Germany which has extra strong net laws. For example, Reddit had a special content report path based on German regulations where you have to confirm you’re a citizen. I believe it’s been a thing for years now.
Lol, yeah, bcs they are afraid of the unlubricated dildo of financial consequences.
