MODERATORS
why is that? genuine question, don't use twitter.
It's broad consensus that's featured there, so it manufactures consent less hard, and more importantly, the fact-check appears attaches to the original misinfo, so it gets reshared with it.
but broad consensus does not mean true.
to me this just sounds like social media passing the buck to their users with no regard for accuracy. sure, whatever you guys want to believe, go for it.
I think you and the person you're responding to both have a point. They're totally passing the buck to their users, but their users will probably be better at putting accurate information than they are. It's a different set of problems to be sure, but I think it's a preferable one
but their users will probably be better at putting accurate information than they are.
"they" (Meta) was not the one fact-checking, it was a 3rd party service. And I don't know why you assume a social media user base would be better at it, especially with highly politicized things like climate change, vaccines, wars, etc.
They think that because community notes are actually fairly good on Twitter. You'd think that they wouldn't be, but somehow the extremist idiots don't seem to be able to outshout the sensible majority.
Just go on YouTube and search for community notes.

Crowd sourced fact checking so they don’t have to pay staff to do it.
Instead the "community" can brigade the "verification" and create an even louder echo chamber.

It's better because people can post notes under the nonstop nazi propaganda. \s
Community notes are an actually good feature of Twitter.
they're really not; they're just a way to harass marginalized people.

"Welp, the Last Election ever is over, time to rip off the bandaid."
Did we ever think Zuck was genuine with his UBI comments?
i read on facebook that mark zuckerberg was a convicted paedophile. it must be true because there was no fact check.
The community note agrees.
Source: I wrote it.
There you have it folks.
They didn't remove misinformation before anyway. After the hurricane devastated the Smokie mtns FB was full of idiots claiming fema was buying land for a private mining company, the storm was manmade, etc.
Cancer loves to metastasize
*meta-stasize
This is a full announcement, sounds like they're going on a full Twitter way
The original post has 1.5k likes and 2k replies so obv not everyone are happy about Twitter alternative just turning into Twitter
Lmao how does moving the content moderation team from CA to TX remove bias.
It removes better wages due to the higher CoL and corporate tax rate in CA and therefore removes bias, obviously. /s
Considering Texas's major tech hub including FB offices are based in Austin idk what bias they think they're eliminating

Straight from president Musk.

So for the . . what seems like hundredth year in a row - anyone who's using Facepals and Xitter please delete it. please. Just. Stop.
almost all boomers at this point.
“Community notes”
Provided by the same communities that post stuff about flat earth, mole children, and election fraud.
Fb guy went to see twitter guy, who is the US president, at an old diaper rapist's fake white house. Then FB guy publicly gave diaper rapist $1,000,000 in protection money and changed fb fundamentally to incorporate a prominent Twitter feature.
In before it's exposed that all the community notes are generated by AI accounts. It's like misinformation theatre.
If before I was born people invented fully cyborg replicants then hid the fact by programming the replicants to spread misinformation about their existence, I wouldn't even be surprised at this point.
Biggest flaw to this would be:
I get why youd keep the sex slaves around. I'd maybe get why you keep around the beautiful people. Smart people, physically fit people, talented people, etc. But why the fuck haven't I been culled yet? The only reasonable answer might be I'm in some fucked up Truman show, but man, these ancients taste in reality TV is fucking stupid. I'd even say genetic diversity, maybe, but I'm childless and I'm not getting younger.
That is pretty flawless reasoning, so it's definitely real and not a Truman show at all.
well lets see if the EU goes along with that change or if they even dare to roll it out here - twitter is already in hot water regarding the lack of moderation and rampant disinformation, adopting that trash model will not help at all.
Where we're going we don't need facts
I’m starting to think that 1A speech Trump posted out via RFK on YT, the one with the giant green crayon subtitles, was a directive list for his oligarchs, not really intended for mass consumption, just them and the legislators who worship at his altar.
No one’s talking about it, not even here, but these guys are doing it.
Frankly, they might be idiots, they might be anti-vaxxers, they might be flat-earthers from anything, they might be fascists.
But if what they are starting with is removing mechanisms and not putting new ones, and removing those that sucked anyway, - then maybe a tree is known by its fruit.
Admittedly I'm typing this from Moscow.
