Manage episode 462245296 series 3619937
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says the company is ending its partnership with third-party fact-checkers in the US because the program caused too much censorship on the company’s platforms. The announcement raised a big question: How much were third-party fact-checkers really responsible for what content stays or goes on Meta’s platforms? Carlos Hernández-Echevarría, head of public policy at fact checking organization Maldita.es, explains how the group fact-checks posts – and what happens to that content after they do.
