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 means they, for some inexplicable reason, thought the pre-election “shut up about Biden” hivemind would survive perpetually.
I’m still a little confused. Meaning that the next four years we’ll get to hear criticisms of Biden?
I’m guessing it’ll die down a bit when he, you know, stops actually being president.
