In this episode of "We Fixed It, You're Welcome," the hosts tackle
Meta's recent decision to eliminate its independent fact-checking
organization. They explore the implications of this move,
discussing the shift to community-driven content moderation and its
potential impact on misinformation, user safety, and marginalized
communities. The conversation delves into Meta's corporate
responsibility, the challenges of content moderation at scale, and
the evolving role of social media platforms as news sources. The
