The Week in Tech: Meta’s moderation, Nvidia and Dell apes Apple
Marketing Week’s weekly round-up of the technology stories that impact the marketing sector: from AI to martech, regulation to public perceptions.
On the agenda…
Meta announced an overhaul of its content moderation policies yesterday (7 January) and with it caused quite the stir in the tech world.
The social media giant said in a blog post that it would be ending its third-party fact checking programme and moving to a Community Notes model instead. Taking clear inspiration from Elon Musk’s X, where a similar policy is in place.
The social media giant also announced it will lift restrictions on some topics that are part of the “mainstream discourse” and will only utilise automated content moderation on severe policy violations such as terrorism, drugs and child sex exploitation.
