00:00Some fact-checkers are dismayed with the plan of the META to remove fact-checking or investigation of posts on Facebook.
00:07Because Facebook depends on users who can be manipulated according to an expert.
00:13The first news is from JP Soriano.
00:16On Facebook, Jigs is spreading fake news.
00:23That's why it's a political showbiz or viral post.
00:27And even if he doesn't believe it, he's already confused about what's fake and what's true.
00:34It's really worth it. It's really news.
00:36But there are already negative and positive feedbacks from vloggers nowadays.
00:42Even though you don't know what's real and what's not.
00:46Because social media has already been used to spread false information.
00:53The company that owns Facebook or META got groups that are not from Facebook
01:00to investigate if a post is fake.
01:03But the system is about to stop.
01:06First, we're gonna get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes,
01:11similar to X, starting in the US.
01:13In the past, Facebook removed posts about fact-checkers that are fake.
01:19Now, they won't be easily removed.
01:30In the future, users can cite posts to create a Facebook community notes
01:37that can be read by these people.
01:40It's the same as what X or the former owner of Twitter,
01:44the billionaire and Trump supporter, Elon Musk.
01:49But the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased.
01:52So over the next couple of months, we're gonna phase in a more comprehensive community notes system.
01:57It's still unclear what will happen if too many users believe what's real and what's not.
02:03Or if the truth is fake.
02:05One of the people I talked to said that this is the basis of which one is fake and which one is true.
02:10It also depends on the number of comments on Facebook.
02:15That's why a global digital media professor is concerned.
02:19It's effective for him if a fact-checker will say which one is fake
02:24instead of relying on users that he can manipulate.
02:29Usually, attack posts are where there are a lot of false claims.
02:33For example, a politician attacks his opponent.
02:37And these could be influencers.
02:39So, it can be labeled as false or misleading by third-party fact-checkers here in the Philippines.
02:46If there is no removal, how can there be a proper community notes
02:51for posts that have a lot of supporters?
02:55Disinformation actors and disinfo for higher actors will thrive.
03:00So, there are a lot of influencers who want to earn money because it's election season.
03:06Even though Facebook stopped fact-checking in the US,
03:10Rappler is already doomed.
03:12One of its fact-checking partners in the Philippines.
03:15They are also shocked at where Facebook has destroyed the fact-checkers.
03:20He also said that the permission to see dangerous content
03:25to show a part of a free expression is temporary.
03:30And according to the expert I talked to,
03:33Voters are the first to be defeated here.
03:37So, what's important for voters is to have accurate information that can help them make decisions.
03:46This is the first news.
