The president strongly criticized Meta’s decision to replace factchecking department with community notes

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.

          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.

      because I don’t know

      It takes great strength for someone to admit their limitations, and that I can respect.

      Not all leftists are idiots. I was here every day prior to the election, telling those morons to shut the fuck up.

        Ah. I assume then you’re one of those fake leftists who voted because you love a rigged system and support genocide and transphobia.

          LOL… You are really making it difficult to defend my previous comment.

          Look how they lash out. Sad.

          You should redirect that anger inwards, my friend. And take your bullshit purity tests elsewhere, I’m not interested.

            Hey I’m just repeating what I’ve been told by tools of russia and technazis who believe themeselves to be so progressive they’re beyond liberal and then bitter about it somehow.
