Summary

President Joe Biden criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerbergā€™s decision to replace factchecking with community-moderated notes, calling it ā€œreally shamefulā€ and ā€œcontrary to American justice.ā€

Zuckerberg defended the move, claiming factchecking undermined public trust and stating the company aims to prioritize free speech.

The decision follows Metaā€™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 Metaā€™s approach irresponsible and harmful to truth and public discourse.

    Hitler legitimatley won his election too. And someone should have shot him in the head at the moment, too.

    Hey if youā€™re feelinā€™ froggy, get to it. Godspeed.

    But then the neoliberals wouldnā€™t be able to pretend to want to do something for the next 4 years, while selling us out down the river, so their portfolios can improve.

    Thatā€™s absolutely insane. Youā€™re just way up your own butt with that take. GTFO. I canā€™t even be arsed to argue with you itā€™s so stupid. Christ.

      Why doesnā€™t Biden do it? He has legal authority to do soā€¦

      Thatā€™s absolutely insane. Youā€™re just way up your own butt with that take. GTFO. I canā€™t even be arsed to argue with you itā€™s so stupid. Christ.

      Itā€™s insane? Its the only logical conclusion one can draw from the Demā€™s actions over the past 22 yearsā€¦ Make loads of noise about issues, but do nothing of substance to solve those issues, in order to preserve talking points for next election cycle.

        Why doesnā€™t Biden do it?

        Uh, Bidenā€™s being watched. Duh. And no he canā€™t just whack the president-elect and say ā€œhe was a traitorā€. Yes, it is fun to think about. But cā€™mon. Ask what you can do for your country.

        Its the only logical conclusion one can draw from the Demā€™s actions over the past 22 years

        ? Why 22 years? Are you 22? If so, that would explain a lot. I assume you donā€™t care about inflation, job creation, murder rates, and all the boring stuff they do better than republiQans, or any other national party, so lets jump to just one specific item from the the last four years.

        Hundreds of billions in federal funds for renewable energy transitions. Youā€™ll never see anything for it under republiQans who want to bring back coal for some reason, but sure 200 Billion is ā€˜nothing of substanceā€™, logically.

        If you are still just learning how everything works you might be unaware of the vast difference in legislation and governance between the two parties, but hang in there and youā€™ll figure it out someday. Probably just in time for some rando to accuse you of being a fascist because you have to drive to get somewhere.
