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.

      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”?
