Summary
President Joe Biden criticized Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to replace factchecking with community-moderated notes, calling it “really shameful” and “contrary to American justice.”
Zuckerberg defended the move, claiming factchecking undermined public trust and stating the company aims to prioritize free speech.
The decision follows Meta’s rollback of diversity and inclusion programs amid legal and political shifts.
Biden, in his final press call as president, emphasized the importance of countering misinformation, labeling Meta’s approach irresponsible and harmful to truth and public discourse.
Wow, he really socked it to them.
He’s known for his fiery rhetoric, especially slamming and blasting his enemies. CNN said so.
it’s great to see biden’s doing pretty much all of the absolutely fucking nothing that i expected, before he politely and peacefully hands us all over to fascism.
get fucked joe. the ineffectual finger-wagging and sternly worded bullshit response to the country collapsing around you is a big reason people can’t stand democrats
edit: LOL that’s a perfect analogy-- biden’s response to everything = downvotes/mad face emoji 😡
Yeah he should make them censor stories line his son’s laptop story, that will save us from fascism!
He turned out to the the POS I expected. A leopard cant change its spots
Okay! Bye!
Rich and powerful hate facts. Dumb sheep easier to control :)
Can’t govern by shaming.
Biden should be impeached and in jail himself for numerous violations related to shipping weappons to genociders. But we arent a country of laws anymore, so I guess geriatric virtue signalling via finger wagging is fine. Whats it even matter anymore.
True. The most effective means of governing is by executive orders, issued weeks before leaving office, that can be immediately overturned by the incoming president.
Why not smash through insanely overpowered executive orders if only to clog up the Supreme Court?
Why don’t they try? Ever? Anything?
It looks like politics is now a wholly owned subsidiary of lefty punk-ass idiots. Well, we’ll enjoy their hot takes on their new god emperor with no clothes for four exciting vomitous years.
Thanks lefties! Enjoy your self righteousness.
For anyone relatively new to lemmy, “lefty” is apparently different from “liberal” by an incredibly large amount, although they’ll need to explain it because I don’t know.
What does this mean?
It means they, for some inexplicable reason, thought the pre-election “shut up about Biden” hivemind would survive perpetually.
Those are definitley English words…
I call biden really shameful. You obviously have the respect of your peers but all you can do is wag your finger like an impotent bitch boy.
Tiktok gets banned for showing pro-Palestine content. Facebook gets an aww shucks for spreading endless misinformation
Yeah, since when is TikTok getting banned for showing pro-Palestine content? The only thing I’ve ever read or heard about it is the US government being scared of Chinese spying.
Not saying that’s a good excuse either. I just think your statement is incorrect.
Also sorta funny and ironic you’re spreading misinformation while complaining about misinformation.
“You have a social media ecosystem environment in which context, history, facts get lost, and the emotion — the impact of images — dominates,” Blinken said.
Romney replied, “Some wonder why there was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians, relative to other social media sites — it’s overwhelmingly so among TikTok broadcasts.”
Thanks for providing articles!
Thanks for providing articles!
TikTok gets banned for being Chinese Spyware.
Facebook gets an aww shucks for being American Spyware.
Do something about it or shut up, Joe.
Facebook is contrary to American justice?
First off: I think not. lol It’s MO is exactly the same. Rich people get to die anything they want and the poors can suck it.
Secondly: what the hell does he think Facebook is, the right to assemble, a public space?
Please don’t use the lie machine for lying, it’s just supposed to sell crap, not bull crap?
You are the one that control what they are allowed to do.
Lmao Dems are beyond useless.
Kill the Democratic party, they have no chance of doing the right thing
Biden criticized Meta, the company known for imprisoning children to mine elements for their AI batteries, because they dropped fact checking?
I mean American enslaves children and murders countless so get of your high horse Americans
Hey, we allow American children to work in mines, they love it! We’ve also found this neat method at our borders that if you separate families they get really desperate and stressed out. To the point they might just turn around and leave if we ever let them out of our camps.
Fact checking affects Democrat election results. Not all that other silly stuff.
Biden SLAMS Meta!
Biden can SLAM his bullshit back up his ass
Really shameful you keep giving weapons to a genocide country but here we are.
Don’t you worry your lefty little head about that! Donald Trump is totally going to make you wish you had done the one measly little thing you could have the one time it mattered!
But sure, get some good ol’ Genocide Joe-ing in while you can. Tell us all about it!
It is okay, now with Meta’s hands off approach we will finally be able to criticize Israel…oh wait apparently that is not what they meant.
