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.
Can’t govern by shaming.
Biden should be impeached and in jail himself for numerous violations related to shipping weappons to genociders. But we arent a country of laws anymore, so I guess geriatric virtue signalling via finger wagging is fine. Whats it even matter anymore.
True. The most effective means of governing is by executive orders, issued weeks before leaving office, that can be immediately overturned by the incoming president.
