Also didn't know Meta was outsourcing fact-checkers which is a very terrible idea that sponsored a shady economy of ghost workers that were paid pennies for reviewing gore content.
It'll really take a special mind to think Community Notes wasn't a positive feature added to the social network sphere. Musk despite his schtick did very bold things that other platforms wouldn't think of doing, such as open-sourcing the recommendation system or recently suggesting the idea of optimising content with unregretted time spent that will reward healthy content and punish toxic content even if the two had the same number of impressions.
The overtone window is shifting towards a more open speech and less of self-gratifying echo chambers that promoted the toxic cancel culture.
- ethbr1 2y agoFacebook's approach to fact checking has always been cost-optimization. It would have been a drag on profits to hire professionals to fact check and provide them enough time to do their job, at scale. They quote numbers about how much they're spending as proof they're doing something, but that spend isn't normalized against the scale of their platform.

Attributing it to Musk, though, would require a time machine. > recently suggesting the idea of optimising content with unregretted time spent that will reward healthy content and punish toxic content even if the two had the same number of impressions The precise sort of censorship and "cancel culture" he decried upon purchase.
