I'm guessing this is a cost thing. You don't need to pay for fact checking anymore.
.. still obnoxious and pushing us towards a dead echo chamber internet. Get ready for AI personalities voting on community notes.
Nope. It's a US election, Trump appeasement thing. Meta replaced Nick Clegg (a UK liberal) with a Republican (Kaplan) for global affairs lead and this came out a few days later. A few days before they donated $1m to the inauguration ceremony. Prior to this, there was talk of Trump being pretty annoyed with Meta.
This is all shameful capitulation and political appeasement. They really teaching politicians how to do politics.
In order to avoid political confrontation, they sold all those that wanted a safe space.
No, this is to make it even easier to spread disinformation.
I was in the trenches of Twitter's community notes, useful notes were downvoted in favor of funny ones, and also had a bot/brigading problem.
By design, just like Meta's decision.
