Meta Ends Fact-Checking Scheme

[CaptUSA]

I know we're all programmed for negativity, but this is a positive move for free(r) speech.

Facebook owner Meta is ending its third party fact-checking programme and will instead rely on its users to flag misinformation.

The social media platform on Tuesday said it would “allow more speech by lifting restrictions on some topics that are part of mainstream discourse and focusing our enforcement on illegal and high-severity violations” and “take a more personalised approach to political content”.

Starting in the US, Meta will move to a so-called “community notes” model, similar to the one employed by Elon Musk’s X, which allows users to add context to controversial or misleading posts. Meta itself will not write community notes.

While the moves are mostly positive, the amount of admissions of guilt in this video are really astounding.

"here's some troubling news..." Ha Ha Ha!

Sounded even genuine, maybe big Zuck is coming around? Maybe!

It could of course be a move to get more right winger activity on the platform for NSA to spy on but whatever I'll take this as good news for now

I think he's acting in overall good faith and it's not just this headline that is my reason for saying that. I was absolutely shocked when Facebook open-sourced LLaMa (their AI model) and they have since doubled-down on that over and over, releasing more and more capable versions of LLaMa that score right up with ChatGPT and Claude on AI benchmarks... it's real AI, not a cheap knockoff. LLaMa has turned into the Linux of AI, basically, as it is the single most capable LLM that is open-source and an entire ecosystem of LLaMa-based tools and services have sprung up around it. Because LLaMa is run locally, it can't be yanked around by the winds of changing corporate policies even by Meta... they've let the bird out of its cage. There are some self-interested reasons why this choice makes sense for Facebook, it's not pure charity. But keeping it proprietary would have also been in their interests in different ways, so the public release of LLaMa, and ongoing support of the open-source AI ecosystem, shows that Zuckerberg is committed to running opposition against the OpenAI/M$ monolith in the AI space.

PS: I strongly suspect that Meta is actually way ahead of OpenAI since every time a new ChatGPT drops, Meta releases a version of LLaMa that is at par with it... it feels a little bit like when SR-71 pilots maintained their world speed record by just moving the throttle a little further forward each time somebody else tried to grab the record. LLaMa usually places a close #2 or #3 on the benchmarks, but they're steadily maintaining that position. I have much higher confidence in Yann Lecun's understanding of AI in general than in Sam Altman's (Lecun is head of Meta's AI research lab).

No one paid attention to this propaganda anyway.

2020: Censors speech, destroys lives, spends ~$400 million to rig elections to defeat Trump.

2025: Hey look, I'm a good guy now! I'm gonna visit Trump and hire a Trump guy, and he's a tough, manly guy too!


Some people have been talking about "new-MAGA", which is all of the previously more left people who have become Trump supporters.

There was already a name for that: neoconservative.

Facebook will now probably end up adopting Twitter's community notes.

 

[GlennwaldSnowdenAssanged]

IMHO he is just trying to remain relevant. The Twitter/X that was doomed to fail, is going to massively succeed and it is negatively impacting Zuck.

 

[dannno]

Everybody is missing the obvious, I keep trying to tell you..

Zuck, along with doing BJJ, started taking TRT. I'd bet a lot of money on it.

TRT became a huge fad in the tech industry last year. I have a friend who got on it, absolutely hated Trump and had horrible TDS. His T levels turned out to be rock bottom. I bet my other friend he would be a Trump supporter within 6 months of starting TRT and vote for him. I was right, I even had the timeline right. It was 6 months almost to the day.

The Democrat Party is the party of women and low T men. It's really that simple.

You're simple. He's a CIA front man, dodo. Grow up.

Is free speech "MAGA?"

According to CNN's Brian Stelter and many on the left, freedom of expression and speech is now right-wing.

I've been saying that forever. Although there are also men who are sociopaths and fraudsters who find a warm welcome among the Democrats too.

Musk's X platform is as locked down on speech as Twitter ever was during the height of censorship. Musk has created a less obvious means of suppressing speech, therefore it has less pushback than outright bans.

Zuckerberg taking up this model is not a positive development. It really just means that they are becoming more sophisticated, and more effective, with their censorship.

You will have "Freedom Of Speech, But Not Freedom Of Reach". In other words, you will be free to continue to yell at your TV, your computer, or your phone, but no one will hear you.
