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.
Unfortunately that’s going to be the rule going forward
“really shameful”
Billionaires are shaking /s
“contrary to American justice.”
Ok. What laws were broken?
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?
True. The most effective means of governing is by executive orders, issued weeks before leaving office, that can be immediately overturned by the incoming president.
And what did you do about this bullshit when you were president, cunt
Why not smash through insanely overpowered executive orders if only to clog up the Supreme Court?
Why don’t they try? Ever? Anything?
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.”

Rich and powerful hate facts. Dumb sheep easier to control :)
Do something about it or shut up, Joe.
Wow, he really socked it to them.
He’s known for his fiery rhetoric, especially slamming and blasting his enemies. CNN said so.
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?
Democrats should be forced to pass electoral reform in all blue states as punishment for losing to the world’s biggest loser twice. Blue conservatives no longer deserve to go it alone against the republicans.
If only Biden was president, and could order shooting neonazis about to take the reigns of power… via an official act that is legally protected?
The whole “enemies, foreign and domestic” thing…
Well it sure would be interesting, but I doubt that will happen. And frankly, that’s ok by me if it doesn’t. I prefer my justice to be ethical wherever possible.
Of course Biden will never do it, he will just allow a domestic enemy to seize power. Trump, however, certainly will. Remember the unmarked vans, with unmarked soldiers, scooping people up in Portland? That was a dry run. Our “Beer Hall Putsch” (Well, one of them, at least).
I think if they legitimately win the election then killing them isn’t exactly appropriate.
They shouldn’t have won the election. We’d be in much better shape.
Hitler legitimatley won his election too. And someone should have shot him in the head at the moment, too.
They shouldn’t have won the election. We’d be in much better shape.
But then the neoliberals wouldn’t be able to pretend to want to do something for the next 4 years, while selling us out down the river, so their portfolios can improve.
I’m with ya, but at this point it doesn’t really matter, and he’s still doing ICC shenanigans. Fuckem both i’m not american (and i vote in my elections).
Okay but are you asserting you wouldn’t vote against Trump if you voted in 2024?
I would have voted against Trump
Then you’re not one of the morons that person was targeting so there’s no need to defend their reasoning.
Yours is perfectly solid reasoning outside of an American POTUS context.
Contact your elected officials and ask why they don’t stop disinformation on social media.
Better yet, spread horrid disinformation about your elected officials on social media.
If they didn’t try, I’d call them shameful and a coward.
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
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
Yeah he should make them censor stories line his son’s laptop story, that will save us from fascism!
You mean the story where Rudy Guiliani was duplicating, disseminating, and transporting across state lines, child pornography, and doing so knowingly for weeks before considering turning it over to law enforcement.
Which he never turned over?
No the one where the fbi interfered with the election by lying about it being Russian disinformation
Shockingly? Turns out it was all largely fabricated, and was Russian disinformation… I mean, if it wasn’t, why wasn’t Guiliani charged with duplicating and disseminating child pornography across state lines?
That’s like felony time, in club fed, minimally 15 years, assuming only a single 30 second clip…
No it was Hunter’s laptop, so it wasn’t Russian disinfo
The laptop that purportedly contained child porn, which was duplicated several times, and distributed by Rudy Guiliani?
That laptop?
The one where the “source” for this was actually arrested for lying about it?
Or the laptop that was handed to a blind man, who cannot confirm it was Hunter Biden?
Are you familiar with the idea of “Occam’s Razor”?
Are you seriously denying it was Hunter’s laptop? You are literally the thing you say we need to protect people from lmao
Okay! Bye!
Biden SLAMS Meta!
Biden can SLAM his bullshit back up his ass
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.
I mean American enslaves children and murders countless so get of your high horse Americans
Hey, we allow American children to work in mines, they love it! We’ve also found this neat method at our borders that if you separate families they get really desperate and stressed out. To the point they might just turn around and leave if we ever let them out of our camps.
