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.
Hey non-voting lefties! Join us in appreciating the last time you’ll see a President say something that’s not only factually correct, but is in line with your personal beliefs!
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…
Well it sure would be interesting, but I doubt that will happen. And frankly, that’s ok by me if it doesn’t. I prefer my justice to be ethical wherever possible.
I’m with ya, but at this point it doesn’t really matter, and he’s still doing ICC shenanigans. Fuckem both i’m not american (and i vote in my elections).
Okay but are you asserting you wouldn’t vote against Trump if you voted in 2024?
I would have voted against Trump
Contact your elected officials and ask why they don’t stop disinformation on social media.
Better yet, spread horrid disinformation about your elected officials on social media.
If they didn’t try, I’d call them shameful and a coward.
