Listen "Richard Arnold: No more fact checkers for Meta"

Episode Synopsis

Facebook and Instagram are ending the use of third-party fact-checkers in favour of user-based moderation.  Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg says fact-checkers are too politically biased, and it's time to return to the roots of free expression.  Correspondent Richard Arnold says it means platforms will now rely on user-notes and comments, following the example of X, formerly Twitter.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
