At the same time as Meta decided to stop working with U.S. fact checkers, it revamped a program that rewards creators with high engagement. What could possibly go wrong? @ProPublica spoke to experts about how this will fuel viral hoaxes, as well as to the manager of the NO Filter Seeking Truth page, who has shared so much false information she's currently banned by Meta from earning money. She described the news about the end of fact-checking as "great information."

@TechDesk @ProPublica I know it can not be proven, but I have to wonder if we had ALL closed our Twitter accounts when Musk took over, whether he would have been actually able to achieve what he has in terms of slithering into the White House on Trump's coattails. While we remain on these platforms, we only give them our credibility and even more time to do more damage to democracy and our country. It's time to make the effort to move elsewhere IMHO.
