🚫 Meta Launches Real-Time Content Censorship Unit for 2024 Elections The company says it's also boosting "fact-checker" support. When 🚫 Facebook (Meta) wants to safeguard its “right to censor,” the company presents itself as basically just another private company out there minding its own business. But when election campaigns get in full swing, especially in the US, but also the EU, the way Meta reacts, announcing all sorts of yet new policies and new units to deal with information related to elections, shows that it could have a massive influence on their outcome. And while it’s repeatedly said that (mostly arbitrarily “defined”) misinformation is the scourge of democracy, there is another, this time, no doubt about it: censorship, sometimes based on such flimsy excuses as basically somebody’s subjective opinion – for example, “potential threats.” https://reclaimthenet.org/meta-launches-real-time-content-censorship-unit-for-2024-elections
