Meta has decided to model itself after X and become a fact free zone by eliminating fact checkers.
Not surprisingly, the fact checkers got all of an hour's notice.
How long will it be before Facebook, Instagram and Threads become a complete cesspool like X where Holocaust deniers are welcome with open arms? Not to mention a fever swamp of election denial (at least where it concerns election with Donald Trump loses) and medical misinformation.
Of course, none of this would be happening if Trump weren't returning to the White House in less than two weeks.
This isn't to say that I haven't had my share of frustration with Facebook removing my posts for the most arbitrary of reasons, if any at all. I was placed in "Facebook jail" for my obit for Gary Wright in September 2023.
For its part, Meta claims there will be fewer instances of "Facebook jail".
I'll believe it when I see it. Frankly, I would not be surprised if I have more problems especially if I continue to write posts which are critical of Trump.
Honestly, Zuckerberg might not be as wealthy as Elon Musk. But he's wealthy enough to go tell Trump to fuck off.
