Okay, so just a few* thoughts (*this got longer as I wrote 😅….long thread)-
Having a lot of thoughts & feelings today as someone who’s worked both on FBs misinfo interventions (back when they were making investments) and Birdwatch (pre-Musk Community Notes) 💔. Debating if a thread is worth the inevitable headache 😓

My former colleague @samidh.bsky.social has a good hot take on the recent announcement from Meta. The aspiration of 3rd party fact checking is noble, but challenging to implement well at scale.
Here's my "fact check" on Meta's announcement that it is terminating its fact checking program. The TL;DR: Pay more attention to product changes than to political pandering. THREAD...

Considering how to support civil dialogue online, particularly in public forums where debate & disagreement are common. I'd love to see more perspective taking but the character limits of a 'tweet' (what we calling these?) are limiting.
If there was a perspective taking tool, would you use it?
