Meta Australia is reinforcing its commitment to combat misinformation by collaborating with independent fact-checkers AFP and AAP. The company will flag and limit the distribution of debunked content through its platform. In tandem, Meta is launching a media literacy campaign designed to empower Australians to critically evaluate the information they encounter online, particularly as the election approaches. This dual approach aims to enhance the integrity of information shared on social media and assist users in distinguishing factual content from misinformation.
We will continue to work with AFP and the AAP to independently review content through Meta Australia's third party fact-checking program. When content is debunked by these fact-checkers, we attach warning labels to the content and reduce its distribution in Feed and Explore so it is less likely to be seen.
We are also partnering with AAP on a new media literacy campaign to help Australians critically assess the content they view online, which will run in the lead-up to the election.
