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.
When the president calls a mega corporation’s action “shamefull” is this some kind of regulation? Is this some kind of penalty?
It’s just virtue signaling. What he actually meant to do is send weapons to Israel but he got confused.
Hey non-voting lefties! Join us in appreciating the last time you’ll see a President say something that’s not only factually correct, but is in line with your personal beliefs!
Ahhhh. Nice, isn’t it?
Tiktok gets banned for showing pro-Palestine content. Facebook gets an aww shucks for spreading endless misinformation
TikTok gets banned for being Chinese Spyware.
Facebook gets an aww shucks for being American Spyware.
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.”

Wow, he really socked it to them.
He’s known for his fiery rhetoric, especially slamming and blasting his enemies. CNN said so.
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.
388-58 was the vote on sending the last aid package in Congress. Those are the same people who vote to impeach the president. They write the checks for it as well. And have been a Majority Republican house since before Biden got in. Not that it would have changed much with how the Democrats have been voting in terms of Israel.
Point being, why would Congress vote to impeach someone doing what they wanted?
Biden criticized Meta, the company known for imprisoning children to mine elements for their AI batteries, because they dropped fact checking?
Fact checking affects Democrat election results. Not all that other silly stuff.
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 😡
He turned out to the the POS I expected. A leopard cant change its spots
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.
I’m still a little confused. Meaning that the next four years we’ll get to hear criticisms of Biden?
I’m guessing it’ll die down a bit when he, you know, stops actually being president.
Why not smash through insanely overpowered executive orders if only to clog up the Supreme Court?
Why don’t they try? Ever? Anything?
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
