Are fact-checkers better than community notes: Is Facebook making a mistake?

mardi 14 janvier 2025Durée 12:21

Dr. Sturg gets into the question: Who should fact-check online information? Meta's recent decision to end its professional fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram in favor of a community-based system sparked a significant debate. For years, professional fact-checkers with rigorous training have been the gatekeepers of truth, meticulously investigating claims and ensuring accuracy with a systematic approach.

Now, Meta is shifting to a system similar to X's (formerly Twitter) Community Notes, relying on the wisdom of the crowd. Is this a huge mistake? Join for a look at what reseearch has found about the pros and cons of professional versus community-based fact-checking, and what this shift means for the future of online information integrity.
