Meta gets rid of fact-checkers in the US: What does this mean for Europe? #147
Last week Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta will end its partnership with fact-checkers in the next few months - for now in the United States. He acknowledged that they proved to be “too politically biased and destroyed more trust than they built.” He also said that “too many mistakes were made during content moderation and there was too much censorship.” This is now set to change. How is the job of an independent fact-checker different from the job of a Facebook content moderator? Is there a methodology to reduce the risk of a bias? What's next for the content verification program? Will it be terminated in Europe as well? We talked about this with our guest: Carlos Hernández- Echevarría, associate director at Maldita.es, a Spanish foundation dedicated to fighting disinformation, and former president of the association of European fact-checking organizations EFCSN and head of its policy task force.
Więc ludzie mogą może kliknąć na link i zrozumieć, dlaczego... zobaczyć ewidencję dla siebie i zrozumieć, dlaczego faktykator zdecydował, że to nieprawda. Ale to jest bardzo inaczej od moderacji kontentowej. Bardzo bym podobał się większościom platform, które pozwalają ich używaczom mieć więcej informacji, więcej kontekstu, żeby zobaczyć tabele faktykujące. Ale rozmawiałem z platformami raz po raz kolejny przez ostatnie kilka lat i zawsze im powiedziałem, że wymaganie kontentu jest generalnie bardzo źle. Więc teraz, żeby zobaczyć meta-CEO, który stwierdzi, że to, co robimy, to odpuszczanie kontentu lub moderacja kontentu dla nich. To po prostu nie jest zależne od faktu.
