They will continue to fact check in Brazil and where they are legally obligated to do so. What are facts, anyway? Its all the product of bias. Whos to say what the truth is, in a post-truth era? Lets state the fact not often discussed: Facebook is a cesspool of misinformation, child trafficking, and violent crime. Like TikTok, and AI, it should be regulated. But Meta is not going to be, especially now that theyve made their willingness to play ball with Elon (that dude is everywhere) and the incoming laissez-faire administration. They replaced the liberal lobbyist with a republican. They donated to Trumps inauguration. They added outspoken conservative leadership from UFC to their board. They are going to make sure corporate taxes remain low, and regulation of social media and AI remain theoretical - i.e., nonexistent. The more of this Meta does, the greater shareholder returns will be. Those returns are the CEOs primary responsibility, trumping morality and politics. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, like Elon Musk, are what outgoing President Joe Biden called the new oligarchs.OpenAI has launched a new beta feature in ChatGPT called "Tasks,"MORE FOR YOU As of January 2025, Beat Saber is approaching 10 million units sold on the Quest platform alone.Beat Saber was bundled with Quest 2 purchases for a five-month period in 2022, it's estimated that around 20% of players received the game through this promotion.
