Facebook, Instagram, and Threads are ditching third-party fact-checkers in favor of a Community Notes program inspired by X, according to an announcement penned by Meta's new Trump-friendly policy chief Joel Kaplan. Meta is also moving its trust and safety teams from California to Texas:
"We've seen this approach work on X – where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context, and people across a diverse range of perspectives decide what sort of context is helpful for other users to see." Meta said. "We think this could be a better way of achieving our original intention of providing people with information about what they're seeing – and one that's less prone to bias."
The Community Notes feature will first be rolled out in the US "over the next couple of months" according to Meta, and will display an unobtrusive label indicating that there is additional information available on a post in place of full-screen warnings that users have to click through. Like the X feature, Meta says its own Community Notes will "require agreement between people with a range of perspectives to help prevent biased ratings."
The moderation changes aim to address complaints that Meta censors "too much harmless content" on its platforms, and is slow to respond to users who have their accounts restricted. Meta is also moving its trust and safety teams responsible for its content policies and content reviews content out of California to Texas and other US locations, instead of wholesale moving its California headquarters like Elon Musk did with SpaceX and X.

"You think Whites are superior to Blacks? That's stupid. American Blacks were bred like animals for size, strength, speed, and intelligence like any other farm animal. They are superior us, not the other way around."
Wow, interesting take. I'll guess I'll have to take your word for it. I'd never quite thought about it.

Don't take my word, just look it up. Blacks were bred like animals for the same reasons that animals were bred. Nobody wants a small, slow, weak, stupid horse. A slave not smart enough to work farm machinery wasn't worth feeding and housing. Slaves, HUMAN BEINGS, were thought of as animals, inferior to whites, and bred and raised like animals.
Why do you suppose so many American professional sports players are Black compared to White American athletes, unlike the rest of the world?
Here's [wikipedia.org] an excellent example of breeding.
Unfortunately, they weren't bred for longevity, and most Blacks have environmental factors that further limit a person's health and lifespan.
