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.
When the president calls a mega corporation’s action “shamefull” is this some kind of regulation? Is this some kind of penalty?
