Another day , another statement !

From The Office blah blah …https://sussex.com/fact-checking-meta/

Zuckerberg should simply close her Instagram account and tell her to go elsewhere if she doesn’t like the moderation policies. The fact that they think the US cares what they say or do amongst all the other celebrities is hilarious.

That would be a pretty nuclear option. Is it even remotely likely?

Imodium, Gaviscon and Optrex ???

I’m actually embarrassed for them. Who the hell is advising them? A good friend needs to step in and stop this car crash.

Twister?

Harry and Meghan are hypocrites and their fans have been speeding misinformation on the Waleses for years (and I have my theory that H&M were involved in the Where is Kate saga) but I actually agree with their statement

This is actually scary. Fact checking shouldn't be controversial

Fact checking shouldn't be controversial

You're quite right, @Nono22972, but I'm not sure that it's so much that anyone would disagree with that - more that the "statement" looks a bit ridiculous coming from a pair who've proved again and again to have a loose grasp of facts

It’s his platform. If you don’t like the moderation of a platform you don’t go issuing a statement from the “Office of” unless you want to come across as complete twats. There’s been a fair number of accounts moving off X because they don’t feel comfortable - they put a message up on X and off they go. The Markles are trying to bully Meta into back tracking because they don’t like criticism, it has nothing to do with mis information. If I were Zuckerberg I’d issue a statement saying that he’s sorry to hear that they are no longer happy with his platforms stance on fact checking but it isn’t going to change so he’s closing Meghan’s account to save her doing it herself. She’ll squeal and make herself the victim (as per) but she really overestimates her importance.
She’s still got her jam based account for whenever ARO gets off the ground, although not allowing comments is one way to not be able to monetise.

Who'd of thought the county of Sussex would be at the forefront of a global revolution. There's always spoutible with Bouzy their social media expert.

Hey, Sussex wunt be druv!

This is actually scary. Fact checking shouldn't be controversial.

Does that also apply to Spare, the OW interview, their docuseries, interviews etc...........?

Harry's fact checking
"My memory is my memory... and there's just as much truth in what I remember and how I remember it as there is in so-called objective facts."
so it depends on whether a fact is a fact or an objective fact

😂Such a nonsense.
His memory is clearly addled.
Too much of the old 'devil's lettuce' .

Of course not. Free Speech means that she can moan about whatever and whoever she wants and even use swear words if she has an anonymous account that nobody knows the name of.

There’s not one possible response to that “statement”.

TL;DR

I wonder if the lawyers told him to add that because so many of the anecdotes are clearly bullshit and easily fact checked.

Exactly! 🙄

Nailed it! 😉

Oh FFS. Most of us only use FB to find out if the roadworks have finished yet, if there's anyone else with no electric or who's car is that in our garden!

No, but I have a feeling the IG algorithm may no longer be favourable to Meghan's personal and ARO accounts now.

Why are H&M accused of hypocrisy for stuff like this, yet when Charles with his massive carbon footprint and helicopters and private jets pretends to be an environmentalist, royalists fall over themselves to praise him? Fucking baffling.

What an own goal! 🤦‍♀️

All members of the RF who have preached on the environment have been criticized at some point: W&K, Charles and even Philip.

Does that also apply to Spare, the OW interview, their docuseries, interviews etc...........?

As I said, H&M are hypocrites but there's a difference between them doing interviews, docuseries, book and allowing misinformation and hate speech on a platform that's used by billions of people. Zuckerberg forget to mention that a lot of the "censorship" he talked about was people spreading misinformation and dangerous conspiracy theories during Covid. These are scary times and a lot of people should speak out

Fact checking shouldn't be controversial

General comment here, not just to one specific poster. What the BBC and the Guardian et al are conveniently forgetting to mention, and it drives me nuts, is that what has been 'fact checking' on platforms like Facebook has been censorship.

Try saying on FB, probably even still today, one's perfectly legal belief in the UK or US that 'biological sex is immutable and that this matters in life and law'. Then wait for the ban-hammer to fall as it is classed as 'hate'. The rise of this kind of censorious activism, of which H&M are proponents, was a very important part of why Harris lost the presidential election, and it needs facing up to not batting away as an inconvenient truth.

Interestingly, Facebook / Meta will still have moderation, but they are moving the operations out of California, the heartland of censorious activism, and into Texas, a state that has been attracting a number of content creators these past six months who feel battered by the chilling effect of censorship elsewhere.

But is it one tear out of your left eye…? 😂
