Meta is putting an end to their current third party fact checking program in a seemingly politically motivate move in favor of the incoming presidential administration. Meta will now operate under a โCommunity Notes" program leaving it up to fellow users to determine if posts made on Meta platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Threads) are false, misleading, or harmful. Basically, anything goes now.

this update should remind people to always be kind in the content they share and the comments they leave. Additionally, we all need to remember that not everything you read and see online is true, especially with the ever-evolving use of AI. Always look to credible news sources for the most accurate information!

๐๐๐๐๐จ๐จ๐ค?
Unless you have an interest in consuming or creating politically-focused content, you won't see much difference in the content that Meta recommends to you! So keep on keeping on, and remember to do your own research, form your own opinions, and remain respectful when it comes to political discourse online.
