Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a series of major changes to the company's moderation policies and practices, saying the election felt like a "cultural tipping point."
Easier to trust and more accurate currently, but I don’t doubt that the algorithm to generate the notes will be internal and closed source, allowing them to utilize that trust to manipulate people.
Except in instances when the Notes were screenshot and passed around as a joke, I don’t know how many people took them seriously on X, The Everything App.
I don’t know what the “International Fact-Checking Network” is and I doubt most Facebook users do. The type of person using Facebook is going to likely trust notes written by their peers more than things that come from “on high” (meaning Facebook themselves)
I suppose I’m just seeing how even Twitter has had success with community notes, and figured it would be the same on Facebook. But it’s easy to forget just how… out there Facebook is these days.
Community Notes are good, but they’re never a complete replacement for paid work. And my second paragraph is based on some notable incidents on X; it’s not just “oh it’s only bad because it’s on Facebook”.
Honestly not a bad idea. The community notes are easier to trust and typically more accurate anyway.

Better than partners certified by the International Fact-Checking Network?
And who certified the international fact checking network!?

just search it up gal
How is that a good thing if a lot of these notes take content out of context or are just plain wrong, echoed by those who trust misinformation?

Yeah, and with the added context of other things Meta has done over the past few days, we can plainly see what this is about.
Not when the community notes will be written by AI, and voted on by bots.
Whomever has the most AI and bots to swamp the notes with their text and generate votes wins.
Does that sound like a good way to get facts?
It’s a great way to get facts if you want your facts to be accurate less than half of the time.
