Regarding the moral freak-out over Zuckerberg's announcement that Meta will abolish fact-checking:

Read the whole thread. Human fact-checking will be abolished but not the technical filter system to prevent violations of U.S. laws.

Far more interesting than the termination of the human fact-checking is the future of human content monitoring on those platforms. It is well known that content moderators, ensuring that content doesn't violate "community" standards, are forced to examine horrific vides and other content as their daily work, with the consequence of psychological stress, PTSD, and drug abuse.

As Meta gives up on human fact checking, what happens to the human content examination? As the border between fact checking and content examination is rather fluid, will content examination by humans be abolished as well? Will it be replaced by automated filters and learning software? If the latter, I'd very much applaud that. Because I don't want humans to watch torture videos just to earn a living.
