Very interesting thread on the recent announcements by Meta regarding fact-checking! The election of DJT will have impact for online content moderation and not only in the US.
A quick hit on my thoughts about the Meta decision around US based content moderation -- each of which is basically getting fleshed out into longer op-eds and posts to come soon.
