Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
 

Summary

Meta’s decision to scrap US factcheckers and rely on “community notes” for content moderation has drawn criticism from UK and EU lawmakers.

Critics argue the move could fuel misinformation, harm vulnerable users, and violate the EU's Digital Services Act.

Experts warn of potential regulatory clashes, particularly over content like hate speech and disinformation.

Meta claims the policy, influenced by Elon Musk’s X, applies only in the US, but concerns persist about global implications.

This is why they had Elkann join the board of directors. He has a great lobbying power in the EU. They know what they are doing at Meta.
