Meta Cuts Fact-Checking: Why Digital Literacy Matters
In January 2025, Meta Platforms announced the discontinuation of its third-party fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram, opting instead for a user-driven "Community Notes" system similar to that of X (formerly Twitter). This shift has raised concerns among experts and users about the potential increase in misinformation and hate speech on these platforms. Critics argue that relying on user-generated content moderation may be less effective than professional fact-checking, potentially exacerbating the spread of false information. As online environments evolve, it becomes more important than ever to teach our children about fake news, hoaxes, safe internet use, and netiquette.
