Listen "Meta’s Misinformation Shift: A decision to Ditch the Experts with Silvia Montana-Nino"
Episode Synopsis
In a recent announcement from Meta’s founder Mark Zuckerberg, the tech giant has decided to do away with it’s third party fact-checking model, opting for a ‘community notes’ system similar to X.
How will this decision impact public trust in platforms? What are the implications for the broader misinformation ecosystem? What is the balance between ‘free expression’ and the responsibility to combat misinformation online?
All this and more with journalist and fact-checking researcher Dr Silvia Montana-Nino from the University of Melbourne.
