True, but that doesn't discount that it's a win for Meta
1) Shouting matches create more ad impressions, as people interact more with the platform. The shouting matches also get more attention from other viewers than any calm factual statement.
2) Less legal responsibility / costs / overhead
3) Less potential flak from being officially involved in fact-checking in a way that displeases the current political group in power
Users lose, but are people who still use FB today going to use FB less because the official fact checkers are gone? Almost certainly not in any significant numbers
- insane_dreamer 2y agoYeah, I agree it's a win for Meta from a $$ perspective, just not for the reason the OP expressed (which was what I was disagreeing with). \
- disconcision 2y agoOP said it's a win for meta because it creates more engagement, which is a proxy for $$
