Meta, formerly Facebook, has ceased its fact-checking program on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, replacing it with a community-driven system of 'community notes.' This move has sparked controversy as critics argue it undermines efforts to combat misinformation, especially in the wake of Donald Trump's return to the political stage.

Meta está reemplazando su verificación de hechos con un sistema de “notas comunitarias” que recuerda a X, donde depende de los usuarios para corregir la desinformación en sus plataformas. De alguna manera, esto remite al periodismo de"él dijo-ella dijo”, o la visión de algunos moderadores de debates políticos de que debería ser el papel de los oponentes, no de los periodistas, señalar falsedades.
En 2012, los verificadores de hechos fueron objeto de ataques, principalmente por parte de los republicanos, convencidos de que muchos eran parciales e investigaban los registros de votación para tratar de demostrarlo, relató Adair, ahora profesor de la Universidad de Duke. Trump, dijo, “aceleró una tendencia que ya había comenzado”.
Holan resiste la visión de que los verificadores de hechos han estado sesgados en su trabajo: “Esa línea de ataque proviene de aquellos que sienten que deberían poder exagerar y mentir sin réplica o contradicción”. “Trump no tiene igual como mentiroso en la política estadounidense”, dijo Adair. “No soy el primero en decir eso. Creo que ha capitalizado el hecho de que ha habido esta reacción contra los verificadores de hechos, y mostró a otros políticos que puedes salirte con la tuya mintiendo, así que adelante y hazlo”.
