Faceborg is all about maximizing click-through to maximize ad revenue, regardless of harm it causes.

Fact checking creates zero incentives or profit for Meta.

Which is why opposing them is the only reasonable conclusion.

They're also trying to cater, politically, to a far right administration, and we all know a large percentage of misinformation comes from them, so meta wants to stop having to call them out on it. Bad for business

Neither of these are the actual goal of those who promote "free speech"...Just a tool in the game.

That alone earned you a follow..

When FB invested in hiring more fact checkers that was the one thing I could say they did right...whelp, that didn't last long.

This is about whose speech to prioritize and whose speech to contextualize. It’s not about free speech.

Also, it's important to base your understanding on facts, so you know actual problems from made up ones (aka lies).

Ok, here is a journalist I’m willing to pay attention to.

No kidding.

Using fact checkers to remove posts is NOT free speech. Community notes is. That's what they switched to.

The answer to hate speech is more speech, not censorship

People really do just want to be fed propaganda that makes them warm and fuzzy. Clearly more people need to read 1984 and fast.

Man, I took far more words to say what you just said. And it probably made half as much sense. Well done!
