The social media giant ‘meta’ has announced a shift from her third-party fact checking program to adopt community notes approach in contents moderation.
This is similar to an approach used by Meat’s closest competitor ‘X’ formerly known as Twitter’.
Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta declared this; stating that it is in line with meta’s mission to foster free expression.
“we are ending our third-party fact-checking program and moving to a Community Notes model,” he said.
He as well stated that he has seen this community notes method work in X, hence, it can still work for meta.
The Meta CEO also stated that the shift in this policy is imminent citing dissatisfaction of users with the current method as the reason.
This community note moderation approach will be adopted by both Facebook and Instagram.
Other contents moderation policies including in the aspects of gender and immigration will was well be revisited.
