BREAKING — Joe Biden has pulled off the impossible: positive job growth EVERY SINGLE MONTH of his presidency.

The last negative month was the last full month of Trump’s first term, December 2020.

Carlos Hernandez Ecchevaria of Spanish fact checker Maldita with extremely important stat:

“we know exactly how many times Meta had to reverse a moderation decision to decrease the visibility of a post because of a complaint by the user. Bullying? 92%. Violent content? 88%. Fact-checking? 3%.”
Back from paternity leave on a busy day, I guess. You guys probably know already that Mark Zuckerberg is "getting rid of fact-checkers" and about that: he can do it. His money, his decision - he can very well live with the consequences of Facebook being the cesspool of disinformation and manipulation that it was back in 2016. Let me be very clear: Fact-checkers are not the victims here, Meta users are and I'm sorry first and foremost about them. What I will not accept is that he slanders fact-checking organizations calling us " politically biased" in a self-serving and incredibly deceptive argument. Nor that he intentionally obscures what our collaboration with his company has been about: showing users labels with fact-checked information, giving them additional context, allowing them to access the evidence we found and to make their own calls. What Meta did in terms of content moderation and visibility after we reach our conclusions was always their decision and theirs alone. In other words we never have had and frankly never wanted any "censoring" powers on Meta platforms. On the opposite, we always have told anyone who would listen that contextual interventions and not removals of content are the way to go against misinformation. Implying otherwise is akin to lying. Because facts are important, though, let me finish by taking issue with Zuckerberg's line about “too many mistakes and too much censorship”. I’d gladly discuss any mistakes in our work, but let’s keep in mind the official tally of those. Because of the provisions of the Digital Services Act we know exactly how many times Meta had to reverse a moderation decision to decrease the visibility of a post because of a complaint by the user. Bullying? 92%. Violent content? 88%. Fact-checking? 3%. Finally, on the motivation of Mr. Zuckerberg to make his decision, I'm not naive about the current political climate but I'm also not one who claims to be able to read other people's minds. But yes, I saw that the incoming US president was praising the move yesterday and, when asked if it could be a response to his threats , Mr. Trump responded that "probably" it was. I'll leave it there. I have more to say about all this and you can read my last newsletter here, https://lnkd.in/dfpX2Jz7 and if you're interested in how Mr. Zuckerberg's misrepresents the work of fact-checking organizations, I strongly recommend you read the statement by the European Fact-Checking Standards Network (EFCSN). And of course, see you around here. We are not going anywhere - we have too much to do.
