Meta: Experts “have their own biases”

In the blog post that accompanied Zuckerberg's video message, Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan said the 2016 decision to use independent fact-checkers seemed like "the best and most reasonable choice at the time... The intention of the program was to have these independent experts give people more information about the things they see online, particularly viral hoaxes, so they were able to judge for themselves what they saw and read."

But experts "have their own biases and perspectives," and the program imposed "intrusive labels and reduced distribution" of content "that people would understand to be legitimate political speech and debate," Kaplan wrote.

The X-style Community Notes system lets the community "decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context, and people across a diverse range of perspectives decide what sort of context is helpful for other users to see... Just like they do on X, Community Notes [on Meta sites] will require agreement between people with a range of perspectives to help prevent biased ratings," Kaplan wrote.

The end of third-party fact-checking will be implemented in the US before other countries. Meta will also move its internal trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, Zuckerberg said. "Our US-based content review is going to be based in Texas. As we work to promote free expression, I think it will help us build trust to do this work in places where there is less concern about the bias of our teams," he said. Meta will continue to take "legitimately bad stuff" like drugs, terrorism, and child exploitation "very seriously," Zuckerberg said.

Zuckerberg pledges to work with Trump

Meta will "phase in a more comprehensive community notes system" over the next couple of months, Zuckerberg said. Meta, which donated $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund, will also "work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more," Zuckerberg said.

Zuckerberg said that "Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship," that "Latin American countries have secret courts that can quietly order companies to take things down," and that "China has censored apps from even working in the country." Meta needs "the support of the US government" to push back against other countries' content-restriction orders, he said.

"That's why it's been so difficult over the past four years when even the US government has pushed for censorship," Zuckerberg said, referring to the Biden administration. "By going after US and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further. But now we have the opportunity to restore free expression, and I am excited to take it."

Brendan Carr, Trump's pick to lead the Federal Communications Commission, praised Meta's policy changes. Carr has promised to shift the FCC's focus from regulating telecom companies to cracking down on Big Tech and media companies that he alleges are part of a "censorship cartel."

"President Trump's resolute and strong support for the free speech rights of everyday Americans is already paying dividends," Carr wrote on X today. "Facebook's announcements is [sic] a good step in the right direction. I look forward to monitoring these developments and their implementation. The work continues until the censorship cartel is completely dismantled and destroyed."

All these tech bros are only sucking up to Trump now because he’s going to increase H1Bs

>abused to erode trust and silence dissenting opinions.
Feacesbook had any level of trust? I mean to any but the most gullible of the simpletons.
As for the 'silencing dissenting opinions' when 90%+ is blatently false and one of the precursor conditions for using docile media is an inability to think for themselves it did serve a useful function.
Now you'll get to see what it's like without it. It was hard enough to get you dumb fucks to acknowledge easily observable phenonema like evolution before. Enjoy all the flat earthers and other such buttfuckery that'll flood it.

>>1373131
>I deleted my account years ago.
Bwahaahaaahaa. Oh. You was serious? BWAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA.

Think about that for a second. Thats their revenue stream, the data you've been stupid enough to allow them to rape. Why would they allow you to delete their income?

Mark it so you don't get to see it no more, sure. All day long. But that's not the same as deleted now, is it? Did you even bother to consider what uses they will find for this data later? Or did you just shovel it in there with no reagrd?

I'm just glad these fake checkers are out of a job

>>1373157
Wasn't hired by meta. Third party. They still have jobs.

>>1373159
The lost one of, if not the biggest, cash cows though

>>1373159
Sure, I guess. Demand for their job just dropped significantly though, and I imagine revenue did as well

>>1373131
Three third world is essentially well over 20 years behind the US in technology and culture. Meta makes all of its money data mining the third world now and selling that data to governments. No one in the US still uses it

Republicans at work again.

>>1373307
The so-called fact checking ended up being propaganda and gaslighting systemically distributed by Democrats and their sympathisers and it's over now. Deal with it.

>>1373310
why was it needed in the first place, and is called for basically nowhere else in life?

>>1373310

>>1373314
>why was it needed in the first place
Because the sort of fucknuckle that would use docile media has already demonstrated an incapacity for cognitive function.

>and is called for basically nowhere else in life?
Consider the remit for collection of vast swathes of data. Consider the suite of pet headshrinkers on payroll. Consider by manipulating the data input you can modify the scope of the output if not the output itself.
!=docile media doesn't have this remit, so no use for.

>>1373314
>why was it needed in the first place, and is called for basically nowhere else in life?
Democrats can't win elections without some sort of scheme to rig them somehow, in this case it was mass distribution of party propaganda under the guise of "fact checking"

It wasn't needed at all, that's the point. It was used to distribute lies, not correct them

>>1373356
Still hanging, chad?

>>1373356
It's odd how for propaganda it still showed everything noted by the fact check was verifiably true, with sources.

>>1373361
Objectively false.

sad we have to rely on youtubers to be actual journalists, but he's proven that the supposedly unbiased "fact checkers" like snopes that claim "we don't allow factcheckers to have political affiliations" have been donating to actblue and far-left democrat groups while listing themselves as unemployed or under another company name.
a law should be implement to treat lying to the public like this as fraud against the public and retroactively charge these assholes.

>>1373361
problem isn't the fact checking its that you don't factcheck the side you have a political bias in favor of retard. How do you not understand this.

>>1373370
Republicans are statistically proven to lie more. There isn't a bias, it's literally just that Trump lies every time he talks in public or private and the rest of the party follows suit. Dems lie too but Republicans ramped up so hard they're literally campaigning on things that we know 100% aren't true, like "They're eating the cats and dogs".

>>1373373
except that's where the bullshit is and why retards like you should just kill yourself. they're "statistically" proven because you disproportionally don't fact check democrats. Oh wow eating cat and dogs how about the bullshit going on with NYC right now about lowering crimes then it turning out they just reclassified it? did you look into that at all you fucking retard.
Crime isn't lower there it's up they just fucking changed the classification.
Fuck people you how fucking stupid do you have to be.

>>1373374
Again, I'm not saying Democrats are always truthful and would never lie. I'm saying Republicans literally lie every five seconds, about everything. Ever since Trump got in.

Like fuck man I watched the debates. Almost every single claim Trump made was legitimately full of shit. Hell, now we're even finding out his campaign was full of shit considering he backtracked on price decreases and h1b1. False neutrality is propaganda.

>>1373373
Delusional tranny brain rot

>>1373378
ya its easy to pretend you're the "good" guys when you have control over most social and legacy media isn't it. Democrats lie on the most heinous of issues and most people won't even fucking bother to look it up because oh if snope didn't factcheck them then they must be telling the truth.
they do it in a way that's much more heinous because they don't blatently tell a lie like trump does, they tell you a lie then feign ignorance when you catch them out on it.
Remember that whole trump's america biggest hate crime spike ever.
https://www.fakehatecrimes.org/fakes?page=6
You can see how many fakehatecrimes came about almost entirely because of the legacy media signal boosting it post 2016.

Trump's full of shit especially recently with the "we subsidize canada by buying their food shit" but anyone who takes Kamala serious is a fucking retard, she's a former AG who threw dozens of people in prison for Cannabis possession, then did a 180 in the last year before election and went on the debates screeching she was going to legalize it. Democrats have taken over moderation of most social media sites between 2018-2024 and their influence is fucking showing in brainrat retards

>>1373374
Good post

>>1373374
Actually, this is worth talking about more, I'm going to contribute more than just "good post"

It goes further than disproportionately fake checking on side more than the other, there's also an element of needless pedantism and more rigorously applying a fake check to one side than the other.

An example that comes to mind was during a 2016 debate trump stated that a third of undocumented migrant woman are sexually assaulted on their way here. The fact check stated he lied. It's reasoning was something akin to "False. no evidence states that 1/3 (33%) of migrant women are sexually assaulted on the way to the US. However, a report released this year by ___ states that as many as 30% of migrant women may be sexually assaulted, which is less than 1/3".. of course I'm paraphrasing it was awhile ago but that was the essence of the fake check

>>1373382
yeah anon a "as high as 30%" and "one-third" actually aren't the same thing. This is just another example of how Trump overexaggerates, then gets caught and is like "Well, part of it is true!". Same thing with whenever he uses a singular example to condemn a whole population.

>>1373383
>"as high as 30%" and "one-third" actually aren't the same thing
They are equivalent in common parlance for anyone who isn't involved in a scientific conversation

>>1373383
Also, to be fair pedantic here since you seem to love pedantism, I would eat a small portion of my shoe if the number was 30% and that wasn't a rounded number with decimals, making the fake checkers just as much as a liar using your own argument of absolute equivalence

>>1373384
>>1373385
Hey here's the literal fact check on this.
>https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/jan/25/donald-trump/trump-said-1-3-migrant-women-sexually-assaulted-jo/

>>1373383
>>"Considering a comprehensive definition of those categories, out of the 429 migrants and refugees that answered (sexual and gender-based violence) questions, 31.4 percent of women and 17.2 percent of men had been sexually abused during their transit through Mexico," the report said.
the 30% mark is undershooting it retard its higher. Plus lets not pretend all crimes are reported and there aren't some victims who just "disappear" so you always have to assume its higher then what's reported

>>1373386
The one I was referencing was done as a real time fact check by one of the news orgs and rated it False, but thanks, that one is as good as any for the example

>>1373387
400 migrants is an incredibly low sample size to be drawing any universal conclusions off of.

>>1373396
better then your sample size of 1, you'll always find some pathetic excuse. Also if you actually had an education you'd know how sampling works, but i can't expect that from a braindead liberal.

>>1373397
>better then your sample size of 1
Isn't this what Trump uses for claims of eating cats and dogs? I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm saying 400 with a small portion of those being women isn't conclusive by any means, something the source Trump got that stat from admits and he doesn't.

>>1373398
do you know what a confidence interval is? do you think anyone ever doing a survey of a population goes and has a complete census they don't its impossible. What people do is a take a sample size then extrapolate that for the whole population, you can calculate that the real average is within a range. assuming the data taken is unbiased random and a proper representation of that group.

No one gives a shit about trump's cat and dogs, someone probably ate a cat are all the illegals in ohio doing it probably not. but saying there are no cat eaters is just as wild a claim as everyone's a cat eater. so if we want to argue semantics the way the "1/3 isn't 30%" retard logic is, then trump's claims that there are illegals eating your cats is technically true but do you see me arguing that no.

>>1373380
You're talking to a wall anon. There will never be a way to convince that guy that a democrat run fact checking organization spends all their time checking republicans and not checking their own team so of course a brainlet would conclude republicans lie more. Just look at much they get fact checked!

>>1373403
Good post

>>1373424
don't samefag anymore, and just let your thread die

>>1373402
Anon I'm literally quoting what the people who actually did the study said. They themselves admitted their sample size, especially for women, was too low to make a hard general conclusion on. You gotta remember it isn't even 400 people; it was all the WOMEN out of 400 people, so even less than that.

>>1373403
Anon the conclusion that republicans lie more is based on actually looking at them talk. For example, literally a few threads down there are republicans saying the LA mayor went on vacation to Ghana instead of dealing with the forest fires (She was there before they started) and cut their firefighter budget (it was actually increased and the only thing "cut" was a surplus from last year)

Listen to a republican leader talk and you'll find 10 blatantly false statements in 10 minutes.

>>1373427
you're a bigoted retard. NYC mayor spent his entire term embezelling and calling anyone who investigated him racists bigots.
Trump said immigrants are after your cats.
They aren't equal you fucking retard, I hope you get human trafficked to saudi and when people talk about you someone goes but man he was a bigot online so he deserved to be sold.

>>1373429
you sure love being a dumb faggot

>>1373430
I accept your concession I hope you get set ablaze while your asleep in the subway.

>>1373433
i hope you learn english

>NYC mayor spent his entire term embezelling and calling anyone who investigated him racists bigots.
>Trump said immigrants are after your cats.
>They aren't equal you fucking retard
True. Not just the mayor but almost his entire administration, aren't they all indicted or under investigation right now?

>>1373380
>Trump's full of shit especially recently with the "we subsidize canada by buying their food shit"
60% of Canada's trade is with the US.

>>1373441
think they're still under active investigation, that piece of shit was trying to make luigi out as a terrorist to get attention away from him. Guy's still a piece of shit but its NYC i don't expect anything to happen to crooks there if they're blue.
