Mark Zuckerberg U turn / X turn on free speech, Meta to abolish fact checkers, implement community notes like X, but only for users in the U.S.?

(edited)

180 Grad-Wende bei Facebook und Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg hat überraschend eine 180-Grad-Wende angekündigt, in den USA Fact Checkers abzuschaffen und stattdessen mit einem Community-Notes-System wie auf X zu ersetzen.

Viele verstehen das als Kampfansage gegen Zensur und die Überregulierung in der EU (DSA). Trusted Flaggers etc.

In einem dreistündigen Podcast mit Joe Rogan erklärt Zuck die Hintergrunde zur Policy-Änderung und räumt auch ein, in der Vergangenheit vor allem von der Biden-Regierung unter Druck gesetzt worden zu sein, Inhalte auf Facebook zu löschen. Vor allem im Zusammenhang mit Corona und der Wahl von Trump.

Im Podcast erhebt Zuckerberg auch schwere Anschuldigungen, Regierungs-Vertreter hätten seine Mitarbeiter angeschrien und sie dazu genötigt, auch wahre Inhalte zu zensurieren, was ein klarer Verstoß gegen den Ersten Zusatz der US-Verfassung wäre. First Amendment. Free Speech.

Und noch eine Ankündigung hat es in sich, die ein Vorbild für viele US-Firmen werden könnte. Meta wird das firmeninterne Diversity-Progamm mit sofortiger Wirkung einstellen und in Zukunft nicht mehr Minderheiten bei Personalentscheidungen künstlich bevorzugen. Zeitenwende.

Was sagt ihr dazu? Wie glaubwürdig ist der U-Turn / X-Turn von Zuckerberg? Denkt ihr das wird auch Auswirkungen auf die EU haben oder werden die Änderungen nur für US-Bürger gelten?

U turn / X turn: Meta is implementing X approach on free speech. Social media hell is freezing over 😂

U turn / X turn at Facebook and Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg has surprisingly announced a 180-degree turnaround, abolishing fact checkers in the US and replacing them with a community notes system like on X instead.

Many see this as a declaration of war against censorship and overregulation in the EU as well (DSA). Trusted Flaggers etc.

In a three-hour podcast with Joe Rogan, Zuck explains the background to the policy change and also admits to having been put under pressure in the past, especially by the Biden administration, to delete content on Facebook. Especially in connection with coronavirus and Trump's election.

In the podcast, Zuckerberg also makes serious accusations that government representatives have shouted at his employees and coerced them into censoring true content, which would be a clear violation of the First Amendment of the US Constitution. Free Speech.

And there's another big announcement that could also set an example for many US companies. Meta will discontinue its internal diversity program, taking effect immediately, and will no longer artificially favor / prioritize minorities in future personnel decisions. A huge turning point.

What do you think? How credible is Zuckerberg's U-turn / X-turn? Do you think this will also have an impact on the EU or will the changes only benefit US citizens?

Zumindest in den USA scheint es jetzt schön langsam wieder in eine vernünftigere Richtung zu gehen, in Europa warte ich noch darauf.

I'd say fact checkers in general are not a bad thing and can provide a useful service on social media platforms. However, it would have to be completely independent of any governmental or other influence and it needs to be 100% trustworthy. Otherwise it's just useless or even problematic.

Assuming the statement of Zuckerberg about his employees being coerced to censor content with correct information, then it's a good thing they removed it.

That's awesome news, if zuckerberg actually goes through with it, it could be a huge turning point for Internet overall.

Something big is going to happen.

Auf jeden Fall ist es gut, dass etliches ans Tageslicht kommt.
Die EU wird wohl weiterhin auf betreutes Denken setzen und hoffen dass nach Trump die Demokraten wieder an die Macht kommen dann würde es auch wohl in den USA betreut weiter gehen.

I don't think he has changed his mind, he just adapts to the changes. These are my principles and if you don't like them I have others.

This is a war against censorship, the government repeatedly violates the law of free speech. Government interference in social media is not desirable.

The Zuck interview with Rogan shows the government has been using social media, especially Facebook as a tool to achieve political propaganda. I hope Zuck is able to stand his ground against government intimidation after all these changes he's implemented on Facebook.

Wird sicherlich nur für USA gelten.

i dont understand. what is the effect of discontinuing the internal diversity program?

He is changing due to the political environment. I don't think he will avoid leaning towards the factcheckers, but I think the current state of them are too biased.

Hey there, the Bilpcoin team just wanted to give you a virtual high-five we manually curated this post.

Their attempts to intimidate and silence their critics are equally concerning. The use of downvotes as a means of censorship is a clear indication of their desperation to maintain their grip on the narrative. But it's not working

The Hive community has been plagued by a rise in spam accounts sharing stolen content. Many of these accounts appear to be linked to a single super farm that we've exposed @memesandstuff superfarm and we believe a prominent whale may be behind it

A Call to Action Against Downvote Abuse on Hive

Bad downvotes on Hive are a growing concern that must be addressed. These downvotes not only discourage users from sharing their real thoughts and ideas but also damage the community as a whole, we see many walk away

The Buildawhale farm scam has been a topic of concern for us, and we've exposed it. However, despite our attempts to bring attention to this issue, it seems that no concrete actions have been taken to address it. This lack of response is puzzling

Let's discuss a more serious issue that affects all on Hive. The prevalence of bad downvotes on Hive is a major concern, and we urge you to speak up if you've been affected by it. Don't be afraid to share your experiences speak up
