  1. Negli USA le bufale virali abbondano su Facebook

    Nel Briefing settimanale, il sito #Indicator ospita un articolo nel quale si sottolinea come #Meta stia lasciando prosperare negli Stati Uniti le bufale virali
    Il programma di verifica dei fatti di Meta esiste ancora al di fuori degli USA, ma i #factchecker statunitensi non ci sono più ed è stato adottato un approccio altamente permissivo per i contenuti falsi al 100% creati per ingannare e fare soldi.

    Demonstrators hold signs as they stand outside the Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse on March 12 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. They were protesting cuts to the federal government workforce and other Trump administration policies.

    The Fact Checker rose in an era of false claims. Falsehoods are now winning.

    Analysis by Glenn Kessler

    When 400 fact-checkers from around the world gathered in Rio de Janeiro in June for an annual conference, the mood was tense. After years of exponential growth, political fact-checking was in retreat and under fire. And somehow, even as fact-checking surged in the past decade, so had the wave of false claims and narratives swamping the world.

    Meta, which after 2016 spent more than $100 million to fund 100 fact-checking organizations, ended a partnership with U.S. fact-checkers to highlight false claims and signaled it would cut back across the world. Google announced it would end its ClaimReview program — which I helped foster — that elevated fact checks in search results. Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s abrupt dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development cut off additional funding for fact-checkers in Eastern Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia.

    The state of the fact-checking field is on my mind as I write my last column for The Washington Post. I am taking a voluntary buyout, ending almost 28 years at the newspaper, including more than 14 as The Fact Checker.

  3. La verità non va più di moda.
    Ieri il presidente di Meta ha dichiarato di voler tornare alle origini, nello specifico, “ci libereremo dei fact checker e li sostituiremo con Community Notes simili a X, a partire dagli Stati Uniti”. Inoltre ha dichiarato che donerà un milione di dollari al fondo per l’insediamento di Trump.

  4. Ich hätte ja ne Idee für die Ergänzung des Provider und Plattformprivilegs: wenn eine Plattform algorithmisch in die Auslieferung von Inhalten eingreift, macht sie sich diese automatisch zu eigen.

    Das würde (zumindest in Deutschland und der EU) #Meta, also #Facebook und #Instagram, #TikTok und #Xitter sofort in die Haftung nehmen.

    Geht dann sehr schnell mit der Wiedereinsetzung der #FactChecker wie @correctiv_org und @heiseonline

  5. @e_es @gme Could you please provide the source of your numbers and cross-check against other sources? According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakba "approximately 750,000 Palestinian Arabs (about half of Palestine's Arab population) fled from their homes or were expelled by Zionist militias", but maybe @wikipedia has the wrong numbers.

    Ma per davvero, mica come i #novax che finiscono su #cosecadutedaicamion e #corrieredelcuxo e si bullano di essere finiti sulle "importanti riviste scientifiche"
    Pare che i #factchecker siano utili a fare la #scienza
