Meta will soon begin to fact-check posts on Threads, says Instagram head
Instagram's Threads will implement a fact-checking program next year, with a separate group of fact-checkers moderating posts. Currently, fact-checkers cannot rate content on Threads, but ratings from Facebook or Instagram carry over if flagged as false. Starting next year, fact-checking partners will have the ability to review and rate misinformation on the app. Threads still prohibits searching for certain keywords, such as 'covid' and 'covid-19.' Users can customize the level of 'demotions on fact-checked content' in their feeds. This move by Meta comes amidst criticism for spreading misinformation on its platform.
