'Win for free speech and common sense': TV host welcomes Meta scrapping fact checkers

^{Published on 2025-01-09 01:40:46 - MSN}

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio has welcomed Mark Zuckerberg scrapping Meta's fact checkers in America, stating the decision as a win for free speech and common sense.

The article discusses a decision by Meta, the parent company of Facebook, to remove fact-checking services from its platform, which has been welcomed by Sky News Australia host Rowan Dean as a victory for free speech and common sense. Dean criticized fact-checking organizations, labeling them as "left-wing" and accusing them of stifling free speech by labeling opinions as misinformation. He argued that fact-checkers often target conservative viewpoints, suggesting that their removal would allow for more open discourse. This move by Meta has sparked a debate on the role of fact-checking in social media, with some seeing it as a step towards less censorship, while others worry about the potential increase in misinformation.
