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.

    When the president calls a mega corporation’s action “shamefull” is this some kind of regulation? Is this some kind of penalty?

      It’s just virtue signaling. What he actually meant to do is send weapons to Israel but he got confused.

        Ahhhh. Nice, isn’t it?

          Democrats should be forced to pass electoral reform in all blue states as punishment for losing to the world’s biggest loser twice. Blue conservatives no longer deserve to go it alone against the republicans.

          If only Biden was president, and could order shooting neonazis about to take the reigns of power… via an official act that is legally protected?

          The whole “enemies, foreign and domestic” thing…

      Contact your elected officials and ask why they don’t stop disinformation on social media.

      If they didn’t try, I’d call them shameful and a coward.
