Listen "Stephen Judd: Group pushes back against Meta fact-check removal"

Episode Synopsis

A group fighting misinformation says Facebook's solution to moderation shouldn't just be switching off fact-checkers.  Meta, which also owns Instagram, says it will change to community based moderation like that used on X.  Its Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg says the third party fact-checkers it uses have become too politically-biased. But Fact Aotearoa spokesperson Stephen Judd says they believe in a solution to misinformation which is much more long-term.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
