Trump's Influence Prompted Meta to Abandon Fact-Checkers, Claims CMO Alex Schultz

In the wake of Donald Trump's influence, Meta Platforms ditched the use of fact-checkers, according to the company's Chief Marketing Officer (CMO), Alex Schultz. Schultz stated that Trump's constant accusations of bias against the company were a key factor in this decision. This move has sparked a significant debate on the company's role in curbing misinformation and its responsibility towards its users. The CMO, however, clarified that the company still relies on third-party fact-checkers to some extent. He also acknowledged that the issue of misinformation is complicated and that the company is continually striving to improve its systems to manage it.
