Meta宣布终止在美第三方事实核查:改用社区注释

位于加利福尼亚州圣马特奥县门洛帕克市的 Meta 公司2025年1月7日宣布,将终止其在美国的第三方事实核查计划,改为采用由用户撰写与评分的「社区注释」(Community Notes)模式。这一调整由 Meta 全球事务主管 Joel Kaplan 署名公布,题为《更多的言论、更少的错误》。
Meta 的第三方事实核查计划于2016年启动,由独立事实核查机构对平台内容作出评级,相关内容会被贴上标签并减少分发。Kaplan 在文中称,专家同样有自己的偏见与立场,这个本意为提供信息的计划「太常变成审查工具」。
按新安排,社区注释将参照 X 平台的做法,由参与用户撰写和评分,须获得不同立场用户的一致认可才会显示,Meta 本身不撰写注释、也不决定哪些注释出现。该模式将在未来数月内先在美国逐步推行;过渡期间,Meta 将取消事实核查管控、停止对被核查内容降权,并把原先必须点击才能通过的全屏警告改为不那么打扰的标签。
同篇公布还宣布调整执法方式:Meta 称,2024年12月其平台每天删除数百万条内容,其中每一两成可能属于误判;今后自动系统将集中处理恐怖主义、儿童性剥削、毒品、欺诈与诈骗等非法及高严重度违规,程度较轻的违规主要依靠用户举报后处理。负责制定内容政策与审核的信任与安全团队将由加州迁往德州及美国其他地点。Meta 同时表示,将以更个性化的方式处理选举、政治与社会议题等公共事务内容,让想看更多此类内容的用户能看到更多。

Meta Ends U.S. Third-Party Fact-Checking, Moves to Community Notes
Meta, based in Menlo Park, San Mateo County, California, announced on January 7, 2025, that it would end its third-party fact-checking program in the United States and begin moving to Community Notes, a system written and rated by users. The change was announced in a post titled "More Speech and Fewer Mistakes" by Joel Kaplan, Meta's chief global affairs officer.
Meta launched its third-party fact-checking program in 2016, with independent organizations rating content that was then labeled and demoted. Kaplan wrote that experts, like everyone else, have their own biases and perspectives, and that a program intended to inform had too often become a tool to censor.
Under the new approach, modeled on X, Community Notes will be written and rated by contributing users and will require agreement between people with a range of perspectives; Meta will not write the notes or decide which ones appear. The program is to be phased in in the United States over the next couple of months. During the transition, Meta will get rid of its fact-checking controls, stop demoting fact-checked content, and replace full-screen interstitial warnings with a much less obtrusive label.
The same announcement changed enforcement: Meta said that in December 2024 it removed millions of pieces of content every day, and that one to two out of every ten of those actions may have been mistakes. Its automated systems will now focus on illegal and high-severity violations such as terrorism, child sexual exploitation, drugs, fraud and scams, while less severe violations will largely rely on user reports. The trust and safety teams that write content policies and review content will move out of California to Texas and other U.S. locations. Meta also said it would take a more personalized approach to civic content, so people who want to see more political content in their feeds can.
