They can’t afford to keep up the process, it would bankrupt meta
And Twitter suddenly down playing negativity
It *always* needs a fact checker.
Zuck is just covering his ass by removing it for Trump2.0hNo cuz he knows you don’t second-guess a dictator and keep your business/life.
Welcome to hell. These are just the gates.
Billionaires own social media, and the fascists.
It’s like watching the prequel to 1984.
Simple solution, dump Facebook. It’s fucking dead anyway just boomers falling for advert scams
The same reason he donated a million dollars to Trump’s inauguration fund, fear. Trump is lawless and now the supreme Court has granted him complete immunity. If wealthy corporations fail to do exactly what he wants, he’ll be glad to make their lives very difficult. If they do what he says, they’ll take in untold billions. That’s how corruption works.
Or, we can break it down as “A narcissistic egomaniac well known for suing and calling for violent action against any person/organization that says anything bad about him is about to become one of the most powerful people in the world. In response, a social media company has removed a function that would highlight bad things about this person.”
FB has become a conservative shithole with a bunch of whiny boomers looking for more handouts and to burden the next generation with more of their debt.
There are no facts to check during a Trump presidency.
Ah yes because having fact checking kept the democrats the White House
Because it blows their fact-checking budget to check all the Republican lies.
So they can lay the groundwork for whatever asshole comes along after Trump.
Even scarier and closer to the truth;
Tell me how the Dems are some kind of evil demons when the billionaires still stood up to them, yet the billionaires are running shit-stained-underwear scared and Trump isn’t even in office yet.
Coz the resource will over load the system by constantly checking for facts.
Economically smart move. Can you imagine the workload and workforce needed to achieve this?
Were fucked!
This one is easy, because even a company as large as Facebook/meta doesn’t have the resources to fact check the Republicans !
It was introduced in 2016
It’s all about profit over truth. When the stakes are this high, fact-checking becomes an expensive luxury they can’t afford. The irony is rich—silencing dissent is the new strategy for safeguarding the bottom line.
Didn’t they have fact checkers in the previous Trump term?
Facebook started fact checking in December 2016….
I think they’re drawing the wrong conclusion here, as usual. When has Facebook ever done anything because it needed to be done, vs when it supported their business?
Having the most fact checkable party in absolute power, and employing people to make them look bad isn’t a smart business move.
Sad day for democracy.
Has anyone been on Facebook lately? It’s a nightmare in its own unique way. Every other post on your feed is some suggested page that has nothing to do with your interests or are entirely AI. I get these weird pages that are like pretending to be a gas station or some business but all the posts are like, “Here’s Debby getting a 75 oz soda for $45” and it just an AI generated image of a redneck woman in a gas station and none of the comments are even real.
Aren’t they literally going to a Xitter style “Peer review” process? Sounds *way* cheaper than employing a bunch of people to sit and “Fact check” random comments, probably way easier to manipulate too.
I remember when bakers used to put sawdust and plaster into bread. They required regulations so that they wouldn’t poison the people they were selling to.
Facebook is the same.
You can lie by selectively making only 100% true statements and omitting others.
It’s still a politically biased action to choose which statements to factcheck and which not, as we’ve seen the last few years under democratic tyranny. Factchecking is not objective, but just as biased as any other online propaganda. It completely misses the point it tries to aim at, and is misleading in that way. It’s ultimately pointless.
They actually removed their system in 2018. Idk what just happened but fact checkers haven’t been there for 6+ years.
It didn’t matter, the people who needed the fact checking didn’t believe them anyway.
Obviously republicans never lie, I’m pretty sure trump is the most honest president ever, lmaoo aww man I bust out laughing so hard

Fact checking on Facebook would be a waste of money. Most people are on there specifically to bullshit other people, and get lies in return.
Why are people mad about this? Is it because the notes feature is worse?
I though Zuckerberg and Muskrat were a feuding? Now I see them in the shower holding hands. What a world.
Why does Facebook need fact checking?
Because facebook was being illegally pressured by 3 letter agencies to implement state funded fact checkers during the corrupt democratic presidency?
Man Reddit is so whiny left all the time… I am left-liberal… isn’t it a great chance for democrats now to spread leftist agenda added with lies to overthrow the government in 4 years again? Why does everyone only focus on the negatives here… opposition with lies is more effective than being in government and start lying while everyone can see the true numbers… if you redditors are so angry about everything… why don’t you organize rallies on the streets? Have you seen what happens in France or Germany if someone is that unhappy? There are 1000s on the street… where are the US 1000s? All I see is this whiny circlejerk on reddit…
I totally get bigcorp funds both candidates, leave all options open, but this is a new low, waiting for the next facebook/social driven conspiracy theory getting traction and good people with values being outraged by it and demanding action.
We ALL agree politicians, and huge corporations are evil. They’re not left or right. It us vs them.
Because democrats for all their flaws have not declared war on reality.

What am I missing here?
[Facebook is just switching to the same community notes feature that was well received on Twitter.](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/facebook-is-copying-x-with-new-community-note-system/ar-AA1x9PGf)
