    Meta did not end fact checking.

    Meta switched to a system of community notes, which is superior at fact checking than a centralized team of fact checkers.

      So community notes can address more instances of misinformation, that part is true.

      But if the community provides misinformation as the “note” then it can actually spread and legitimize misinformation.

      So superior is definitely the wrong word for it. Perhaps more efficient? But also more likely to reinforce echo chambers.

      Superior would be implementing community notes and then having those checked by centralized fact checkers.

        Thats the nifty part, for centralized fact-checkers we just use LLMs!
