The first edition of the new online discussion series “Spotlight” by the Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG) focused on Mark Zuckerberg’s (CEO Meta) decision to end the collaboration with external fact-checkers in the US for all of Meta’s platforms (Facebook, Instagram and Threads) and to rely instead on “Community Notes” – an approach similar to that of the platform X.
After short inputs from Prof. Dr. Jeanette Hofmann (HIIG) and Prof. Dr. Matthias C. Kettemann, a discussion took place. The event was moderated by Katharina Mosene.
