After shadow banning, de-platforming, and forcing fact-check-censorship onto conservative political candidates, critical thinkers, independent news organizations, and nonprofits for more than a decade, Mark Zuckerberg presents his best escape strategy to avoid taking any real responsibility for his actions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Zuckerberg puts all the blame on \u201cfact checkers\u201d while refusing to take real accountability for censoring Americans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the virtual communication giant will abandon its controversial third-party fact-checking program in favor of a system modeled after Elon Musk\u2019s <em>Community Notes<\/em> on X (formerly Twitter). This decision comes from a CEO who previously denied that censorship was taking place, while Facebook whistleblowers and independent journalists called him out on his deception.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg&#8217;s decision, which comes just over a month after he met with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, signals a significant shift in Meta\u2019s approach to content moderation, emphasizing \u201c<em>free speech<\/em>\u201d and reducing political bias against Conservatives, libertarians, independents, and Republicans. The move has sparked debate over the role of virtual communication platforms in shaping public discourse, and their culpability for conspiring with corporate and federal agencies to destroy free speech while commandeering false narratives over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg&#8217;s sudden plea for \u201c<em>free speech<\/em>\u201d is pure theater and deception because these old information battlefields that used fact checkers and fake news labels have already been conquered and abandoned. Zuckerberg is playing on an entirely new playing field now \u2013 engineering AI systems so populations can be manipulated into believing corporate and left-wing narratives in a more subtle yet authoritative way.<\/p>\n<p>The social engineering that is baked into these AI systems has the potential to manipulate group think and drive hysteria further into supporting left-wing causes and corporate propaganda. This social engineering will only democratize online censorship: lobotomized virtual communication users will take to community note platforms to silence content that they find offensive or not in alignment with the programmed AI responses they just received from Meta.<\/p>\n<p>The democratization of authoritarian lies, assisted by AI bots and engineered group think, will make the truth look even less popular online and make dissenters appear even crazier than before.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A return to \u201cfree expression\u201d will inevitably be overrun by AI bots and group think engineered to promote false narratives<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg framed his latest decision as a return to Meta\u2019s roots, emphasizing the company\u2019s commitment to free expression. \u201c<em>We\u2019re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms<\/em>,\u201d he said in <a href=\"https:\/\/about.fb.com\/news\/2025\/01\/meta-more-speech-fewer-mistakes\">a video posted on Facebook<\/a>. The new system, which will roll out first in the U.S., will replace fact-checkers with a community-driven model where users contribute and rate notes on posts they deem misleading.<\/p>\n<p>While this may appear, at first, to open up debate on contentious topics, Meta\u2019s AI bots and associated bot farms will inevitably overwhelm Meta&#8217;s \u201c<em>community notes<\/em>\u201d with their own AI-engineered narratives. Meta has already engineered false narratives into their AI systems, stifling progress on contentious issues and erasing history on important topics. This is a sophisticated subterfuge of censorship at the highest levels that most virtual communication users will be oblivious to. This social engineering from Meta&#8217;s AI systems will continue to spread false narratives in the form of a dangerous community group think, as lobotomized virtual communication users promulgate lies and democratize censorship of the truth, inevitably marking dissent on contentious topics as \u201c<em>misinformation<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meta\u2019s decision to end its fact-checking program, launched in 2016, reflects growing concerns over political bias. \u201c<em>After 2016, the legacy media wrote non-stop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy<\/em>,\u201d Zuckerberg said. \u201cWe tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth, but the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased.\u201d Herein, Zuckerberg places all the blame for the censorship at the feet of the \u201cfact-checkers\u201d he is now promising to eliminate. Zuckerberg fails to mention that Facebook had the final say on what was algorithmically censored, shadow banned, and affirmatively decided who would be de-platformed from the site, regardless of the propaganda provided to them by the \u201cfact checkers\u201d federal agencies, and NGOs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A broader shift in virtual communication moderation awaits<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meta\u2019s decision marks a broader shift in the virtual communication landscape, as platforms grapple with the challenges of moderating content while preserving free speech. X\u2019s <em>Community Notes<\/em> system, which allows users to flag and contextualize misleading posts, has emerged as a potential \u201c<em>gold standard<\/em>\u201d for content moderation.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike traditional fact-checking, which relies on a small group of experts, <em>Community Notes<\/em> empowers the platform\u2019s user base to collectively determine what constitutes misinformation. However, emerging AI systems (that are engineered by the very people who promulgated lies during the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections) are already engineered to promote the same false narratives.<\/p>\n<p>A Meta <em>Community Notes <\/em>system could quickly be overrun or arbitrated by AI systems that are designed to promulgate lies. The censorship of competing narratives and objective dissent is already baked into these systems. These systems will appear authoritative on the issues, driving a type of group think among the online community that will ultimately lead to truthful posts becoming flagged for \u201c<em>misinformation<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Zuckerberg is getting rid of \u201cfact checkers\u201d because Meta <em>et al<\/em>. have already engineered their political perspectives and outright lies into their own AI systems. These AI systems are already subtly weakening the public\u2019s ability to learn about complex topics and make truly informed decisions about medical, political, and scientific issues that impact their life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>yogaesoteric<br \/>\nJanuary 13, 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After censoring and expelling Americans who understood the truth about covid vaccines, government tyranny parading as public health, and the corruption and criminality of the Democratic Party, Mark Zuckerberg would like us all to believe in him once again.
