Meta says it isn’t ending fact-checks outside the US yet

January 15, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Brazil Attorney General of the Union

Brazil wasn’t pleased with Meta’s decision to rely on community notes, stating it would not subject its population to social media platforms that lead to “digital carnage or barbarity.”

Social media platform Meta has confirmed that its fact-checking feature on Facebook, Instagram and Threads will only be removed in the US for now, according to a Jan. 13 letter sent to Brazil’s government.

“Meta has already clarified that, at this time, it is terminating its independent Fact-Checking Program only in the United States, where we will test and refine the community notes [feature] before expanding to other countries,” Meta told Brazil’s Attorney General of the Union (AGU) in a Portuguese-translated letter.

Meta’s letter followed a 72-hour deadline Brazil’s AGU set for Meta to clarify to whom the removal of the third-party fact verification feature would apply.

Meta to scrap fact-checkers in favor of ‘free expression’

January 7, 2025 Coin Telegraph

The social media company will switch to a community notes model similar to the X platform’s, Meta said.

Social media giant Meta, formerly Facebook, plans to replace third-party fact-checkers with a community notes model akin to rival X’s to promote “free expression,” according to a Jan. 7 announcement.

Meta will also lift restrictions on “topics that are part of mainstream discourse” to focus enforcement on “illegal and high-severity violations” and enable users to “take a more personalized approach to political content,” Meta said.

“In recent years we’ve developed increasingly complex systems to manage content across our platforms, partly in response to societal and political pressure to moderate content. This approach has gone too far,” according to Meta’s blog post.

Metaverse book gets boring rename in latest sign of waning enthusiasm

July 21, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Augmented Reality

The growing malaise for metaverse hype is reminiscent of the AI sector directly before the launch of GPT-3.

Matthew Ball, former global head of strategy at Amazon Studios and author of the 2022 book “The Metaverse: And How It Will Revolutionize Everything,” is re-releasing the book under a new, more underwhelming title: “Building the Spatial Internet.”

To be clear, the book will still be called “The Metaverse,” but the spatial internet bit will replace the former language indicating that the metaverse would revolutionize everything.

Evidently, after two years, the revolution has either come and gone or remains impending. Either way, on July 23, the book's newest edition launches.
