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.

    it’s great to see biden’s doing pretty much all of the absolutely fucking nothing that i expected, before he politely and peacefully hands us all over to fascism.

    get fucked joe. the ineffectual finger-wagging and sternly worded bullshit response to the country collapsing around you is a big reason people can’t stand democrats

    edit: LOL that’s a perfect analogy-- biden’s response to everything = downvotes/mad face emoji 😡

        You mean the story where Rudy Guiliani was duplicating, disseminating, and transporting across state lines, child pornography, and doing so knowingly for weeks before considering turning it over to law enforcement.

        Which he never turned over?

            Shockingly? Turns out it was all largely fabricated, and was Russian disinformation… I mean, if it wasn’t, why wasn’t Guiliani charged with duplicating and disseminating child pornography across state lines?

            That’s like felony time, in club fed, minimally 15 years, assuming only a single 30 second clip…

                The laptop that purportedly contained child porn, which was duplicated several times, and distributed by Rudy Guiliani?

                That laptop?

                The one where the “source” for this was actually arrested for lying about it?

                Or the laptop that was handed to a blind man, who cannot confirm it was Hunter Biden?

                Are you familiar with the idea of “Occam’s Razor”?
