AI Summary:
Meta announced the moderation shake-up in January amid a flurry of moves by Big Tech to ingratiate itself with Donald Trump’s administration. The move followed years of accusations by conservatives that fact-checking efforts often labelled legitimate viewpoints as misinformation for political or ideological reasons. Misinformation scholars warned the move would add to the tidal wave of false claims and fake news online. Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, said it would begin testing the feature on March 18. The California-based tech giant said notes would not be published unless they are deemed accurate by contributors with a diverse range of viewpoints. Community Notes will be less biased than the third party fact checking program.
