The Meta Safety Advisory Council has formally voiced their discontent regarding Meta's recent policy changes, particularly the suspension of its fact-checking program. The council warns that these changes could prioritize individual political beliefs over essential global safety considerations, consequently normalizing harmful behaviors. Meta's alterations include easing restrictions on discussions surrounding sensitive issues like immigration, gender, and mental health. While acknowledging Meta's efforts to combat severe online harms, the council insists that combatting ongoing hate against marginalized communities should remain high on Meta's agenda.
The Meta Safety Advisory Council expressed concerns that Meta's new policies risk prioritizing ideology over global safety, potentially normalizing harmful behaviors and undermining social progress.
The council emphasized that while it commends Meta's efforts to reduce egregious harms, ongoing hate against individuals or communities must remain a top priority.
