Meta Introduces Independent Fact-Checking Program For Threads
Meta Introduces Independent Fact-Checking Program For Threads
Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:META) is launching a separate, third-party fact-checking program for its social media platform Threads.
Meta Platforms Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：META）正在爲其社交媒體平台Threads啓動一項單獨的第三方事實覈查計劃。
What Happened: Head of Instagram Adam Mosseri announced the fact-checking program on a Thread late Tuesday night. "...we recently rolled out the ability for our third-party fact-checking partners to review and rate false content on Threads," Mosseri said.
發生了什麼：Instagram負責人亞當·莫塞裏週二深夜在話題上宣佈了事實覈查計劃。“... 我們最近推出了讓第三方事實覈查合作伙伴對Threads上的虛假內容進行審查和評分的功能，” 莫塞裏說。
The system formerly used by Meta only applied to Threads content that was identical to Facebook and Instagram content. "Now fact-checkers can rate Threads content on its own," Mosseri said.
Meta 以前使用的系統僅適用於與 Facebook 和 Instagram 內容相同的 Threads 內容。莫塞裏說：“現在，事實覈查人員可以自己對Threads的內容進行評級。”
Why It Matters: The announcement coincides with increased social media scrutiny ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
爲何重要：該公告恰逢2024年總統大選前加強社交媒體審查。
Threads is positioned as a competitor to Elon Musk's X. The platform saw rapid growth after its introduction in July 2023 but declining growth in user activity in the months afterward. Ahead of the 2024 election, Meta appears to be doubling down on its efforts to combat misinformation on its platforms.
Threads被定位爲埃隆·馬斯克的X的競爭對手。該平台在2023年7月推出後實現了快速增長，但在之後的幾個月中，用戶活動增長有所下降。在 2024 年大選之前，Meta 似乎正在加倍努力打擊其平台上的錯誤信息。
Meta has received criticism for their content moderation policies on multiple angles. Meta reportedly faces a probe from the European Union for an alleged lack of content moderation of Russian disinformation campaigns. On the flip side, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is suing the company for "election interference" following its content moderation of his campaign videos.
Meta 因其內容審核政策從多個角度受到批評。據報道，Meta 因涉嫌對俄羅斯虛假信息活動缺乏內容審核而面臨歐盟的調查。另一方面，獨立總統候選人小羅伯特·肯尼迪在對他的競選視頻進行了內容審核後，以 “干預選舉” 爲由起訴該公司。
In addition, the company announced that it would de-emphasize political content in its platform's recommendation algorithms, and remove its news tab. Users can access news articles through links. News organizations will retain the ability to post and promote their content on Facebook.
此外，該公司宣佈將不再強調其平台推薦算法中的政治內容，並刪除其新聞選項卡。用戶可以通過鏈接訪問新聞文章。新聞機構將保留在Facebook上發佈和推廣其內容的能力。
Price Action: Meta traded at $473.48, up 0.34% for the day at the time of publication.
價格走勢：Meta的交易價格爲473.48美元，在發佈時當天上漲0.34％。
