Summary

President Joe Biden criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to replace factchecking with community-moderated notes, calling it “really shameful” and “contrary to American justice.”

Zuckerberg defended the move, claiming factchecking undermined public trust and stating the company aims to prioritize free speech.

The decision follows Meta’s rollback of diversity and inclusion programs amid legal and political shifts.

Biden, in his final press call as president, emphasized the importance of countering misinformation, labeling Meta’s approach irresponsible and harmful to truth and public discourse.

    When the president calls a mega corporation’s action “shamefull” is this some kind of regulation? Is this some kind of penalty?

      It’s just virtue signaling. What he actually meant to do is send weapons to Israel but he got confused.

        Hey non-voting lefties! Join us in appreciating the last time you’ll see a President say something that’s not only factually correct, but is in line with your personal beliefs!

        Ahhhh. Nice, isn’t it?

                Then you’re not one of the morons that person was targeting so there’s no need to defend their reasoning.

                Yours is perfectly solid reasoning outside of an American POTUS context.

          If only Biden was president, and could order shooting neonazis about to take the reigns of power… via an official act that is legally protected?

          The whole “enemies, foreign and domestic” thing…

            Well it sure would be interesting, but I doubt that will happen. And frankly, that’s ok by me if it doesn’t. I prefer my justice to be ethical wherever possible.

              Of course Biden will never do it, he will just allow a domestic enemy to seize power. Trump, however, certainly will. Remember the unmarked vans, with unmarked soldiers, scooping people up in Portland? That was a dry run. Our “Beer Hall Putsch” (Well, one of them, at least).

                I think if they legitimately win the election then killing them isn’t exactly appropriate.

                They shouldn’t have won the election. We’d be in much better shape.

                  Hitler legitimatley won his election too. And someone should have shot him in the head at the moment, too.

                  But then the neoliberals wouldn’t be able to pretend to want to do something for the next 4 years, while selling us out down the river, so their portfolios can improve.

                    Hey if you’re feelin’ froggy, get to it. Godspeed.

                    That’s absolutely insane. You’re just way up your own butt with that take. GTFO. I can’t even be arsed to argue with you it’s so stupid. Christ.

          Democrats should be forced to pass electoral reform in all blue states as punishment for losing to the world’s biggest loser twice. Blue conservatives no longer deserve to go it alone against the republicans.

      Contact your elected officials and ask why they don’t stop disinformation on social media.
