Meta wants X-style community notes to replace fact checkers - can it work?
78% Informative
Meta is ditching fact checkers for X-style community notes, says CEO Mark Zuckerberg .
Community notes rely on unpaid contributors to correct misinformation on social media.
Many experts question Mr Zuckerberg 's motives and say community notes can be part of the solution to misinformation.
But one expert says community notes are already covering a vastly wider range of content.
Meta is relaxing its rules around some politically divisive topics such as gender and immigration.
Mark Zuckerberg admitted the changes meant it was "going to catch less bad stuff" But many experts argue community-driven systems alone lack the "consistency, objectivity and expertise" to address the most harmful misinformation.
