Mark Zuckerberg's decision to replace third-party fact-checkers with community-based content moderation at Meta has sparked significant debate. Citing the inherent biases of experts, Zuckerberg claims this shift aligns with Meta's commitment to free expression.
Critics argue this move opens the door to increased misinformation and erodes accountability, reminiscent of past controversies like the Cambridge Analytica scandal. Skeptics worry this decision conveniently follows political pressures, potentially enabling unchecked political propaganda.
While some view this as an effort to reduce perceived censorship, others fear it could amplify hate speech and conspiracy theories. Concerns persist about whether this change genuinely promotes free speech or prioritizes profit over public safety.
