Why Meta’s fact-checking retreat can hit some communities harder

Why Meta’s fact-checking retreat can hit some communities harder

Speaker: Assoc Prof Taberez Ahmed Neyazi 17 Jan 2025

Meta announced in January this year that it will replace third-party fact checkers in the US with a community notes system and will wait to see how the change unfolds before making a decision about transitioning in other regions. Assoc Prof Taberez Ahmed Neyazi from the Department of Communications and New Media at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at NUS says that Meta’s decision to dismantle its third-party fact-checking programme is more than a policy shift; it is a global abdication of its ethical responsibility with catastrophic implications for democracies worldwide.
