Meta Transfers Content Moderation Responsibilities to Users in Bold Move

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • Meta has announced a significant change in content moderation, shifting responsibilities to its users under a model known as Community Notes.
  • CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that the company will end its reliance on third-party fact-checkers and content restrictions.
  • This shift indicates an acceptance of looser content guidelines, which may lead to increased false and misleading content on the platform.
  • Critics, including Alex Mahadevan from the Poynter Institute, fear the move could be a "spectacular failure," putting users in charge of fact-checking.
  • This change marks a departure from the platform’s previous stance post-2016 elections, when combating misinformation was a top priority.
