"Consecuencias graves tras la eliminación de verificadores de hechos, advierte consejo de Meta"

La copresidenta del organismo independiente encargado de revisar el contenido de Facebook e Instagram ha expresado su "gran preocupación" por cómo la decisión de la empresa matriz, Meta, de prescindir de los verificadores de hechos impactará a los grupos minoritarios.

Helle Thorning-Schmidt, from Meta's oversight board, told the BBC she welcomed aspects of the shake-up, which will see users decide about the accuracy of posts via X-style "community notes".

However speaking on Today, on BBC Radio Four, she added there were "huge problems" with what had been announced, including the potential impact on LBTQ+ and trans people, as well as gender rights.
