#facebook fact-checking

Meta is set to shake up how we view fact-checking by testing its new Community Notes feature on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads starting March 18th in the US. This move marks a significant shift from Meta’s previous fact-checking program, which started in 2016. Back then, Meta partnered with expert fact-checking organizations to maintain objectivity. Meanwhile, outside the US, Meta will continue using its existing third-party fact-checking system. Facebook is launching a new game, Your Profile, Your Home where users can build their own virtual home on Facebook and learn how to personalize their account based on their preferences. Through the game users can learn more about the settings of Facebook such as Privacy settings, Advertiser preferences, and security settings. Through Your Profile, Your Home, Facebook hopes that users will have an easy way to find out just how safe and secure their profiles are.
