Meta Safety Advisory Board says changes in the company’s moderation give priority to safety policy
Meta Safety Advisory Board wrote to the company a letter about his concerns with his Last Changes in PolicyIncluding your decision to suspend your facts verification program. In it, the Council stated that Meta’s policy is shifting "The risks prioritize political ideologies to the imperatives of global safety." He emphasizes how Meta’s position as one of the most influential companies in the world gives him the power to influence not only online behavior but also public norms. The company is rising "Normalizing the harmful behavior and undermining the years of social progress … by recruiting protection for protected communities," The letter reads.
Facebook’s Aid Describes the Meta Safety Advisory Board as a group of "Independent online organizations and safety experts" from different countries. The company formed it in 2009 and consulted with its members on public safety issues.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the huge change in the company’s approach to moderation and speech earlier this year. In addition to revealing that META terminates its third-party facts verification program and apply community notes in X-Style Community, X by Lina Yakarino had applauded – he too said that the company kills "A bunch of restrictions on topics such as immigration and gender, which are just uninterrupted with the main discourse." Shortly after his message, Meta changed his Hated behavior policy yes "Allow allegations of mental illness or anomaly when based on gender or sexual orientation." It also has removed a removed policy that prohibits consumers from treating women as household sites or property and calling transgender or non-bodied people as "it."
The Council says he welcomes Meta "constant efforts to deal with the most relentless and illegal harm" on their platforms but also stressed that addressing "Continuing hatred against people or communities" Meta must remain a major priority as there are pulsation effects that go beyond its applications and websites. And since marginalized groups, such as women, LGBTQia+ communities and immigrants, are directed disproportionately online, changes to Meta policy can take away anything that makes them feel safe and included in the company’s platforms.
Returning to the META decision to terminate its fact -verification program, the Council explained that while tools created by the crowd such as Community notes, they could cope with misinformation, independent researchers expressed fears about their effectiveness. One report Last year, it showed that publications with false information about the X elections, for example, did not show proposed corrections to community notes. They even gained billions of views. "The facts verification serve as a vital protection-especially in the regions of the world where misinformation nourishes offline damage and as admission of AI grows around the world," The Council writes. "Meta must ensure that new approaches mitigate the risks worldwide."
