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.

    It looks like politics is now a wholly owned subsidiary of lefty punk-ass idiots. Well, we’ll enjoy their hot takes on their new god emperor with no clothes for four exciting vomitous years.

    Thanks lefties! Enjoy your self righteousness.

    For anyone relatively new to lemmy, “lefty” is apparently different from “liberal” by an incredibly large amount, although they’ll need to explain it because I don’t know.

        It means they, for some inexplicable reason, thought the pre-election “shut up about Biden” hivemind would survive perpetually.
