NEW: Meta has quietly dismantled the system that prevented misinformation from spreading in the United States. Machine-learning classifiers that once identified viral hoaxes and limited their reach have now been switched off, Platformer has learned www.platformer.news/meta-ends-mi...

Behind the scenes, the company was also quietly dismantling a system to prevent the spread of misinformation. When the company announced on Jan. 7 that it would end its fact-checking partnerships, the company also instructed teams responsible for ranking content in the company’s apps to stop penalizing misinformation, according to sources and an internal document obtained by Platformer.

The result is that the sort of viral hoaxes that ran roughshod over the platform during the 2016 US presidential election — “Pope Francis endorses Trump,” Pizzagate, and all the rest — are now just as eligible for free amplification on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads as true stories.

The accusations against Neil Gaiman are so shocking that I don’t think I can ever interact with a piece of literature that he touched ever again. I cannot separate the monster from the art. Neil Gaiman is a sadistic rapist. I hope he is shunned from society for the rest of his life.

Hey @RandPaul — maybe not a great idea to install a guy as speaker who can’t get security clearances in part because of his ties to a murderous dictator who openly wants America’s economy to crash and the country to fall apart? 🤷🏻 www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
