META to Get Rid of Fact-checkers

 This seems like one more WIN for Conservatives since Trump was elected.  Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, came on camera today to say that Facebook and other META platforms were going to get rid of "fact-checkers" and replace them with community notes.  

Did you ever wonder WHO checks the facts of the fact-checkers"? 

In his five-minute statement, Zuckerberg said: “Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more. A lot of this is clearly political, but there’s also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there, drugs, terrorism, child exploitation. These are things that we take very seriously, and I want to make sure that we handle responsibly.

“So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content, but the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes, even if they accidentally censor just 1% of posts, that’s millions of people, and we’ve reached a point where it’s just too many mistakes and too much censorship. The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards, once again, prioritising speech.”

He said that removing some restrictions on content on topics such as gender and immigration would “make sure that people can share their beliefs and experiences on our platforms” and he said the focus of filters that scan posts for policy violations would be shifted to only tackling illegal and high severity violations with Meta, relying on users to report lower severity violations before it takes action.

“By dialling them back, we’re going to dramatically reduce the amount of censorship on our platforms,” he said. “We’re also going to tune our content filters to require much higher confidence before taking down content. The reality is that this is a tradeoff. It means we’re going to catch less bad stuff, but we’ll also reduce innocent people’s posts and accounts that we accidentally take down.”

There is no doubt that we are living in the age of deception.  Artificial Intelligence now has the capability to cut and paste anyone's face into any photo or video and make 99% of viewers believe what they are seeing.  How will the average person ever REALLY know what is true?  If the government tells us the drones over New Jersey are nothing to worry about, are they telling us the whole truth?

If the government tells us that this vaccine will protect us from disease, do we really trust them to be telling the truth?

Now, more than ever, we need to be plugged into the Word of God because going forward this will be the only rock-solid anchor that we can rely on.  Jesus is the only way for men to be saved.  Jesus is God.  Jesus created all things and He's coming back for us to take us to the place he's been for these past 2000 years.  If it wasn't true he wouldn't have told us these things.
