Philippines - January 17, 2025 Zuckerberg "broke democracy" with Facebook, and the end of fact-checking will only worsen the situation, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Filipino journalist María Ressa said in an interview with EFE, following Meta’s announcement to end a program that should do "the bare minimum necessary to protect its users." "Will Facebook be responsible for the collapse of institutions for the violence that could be unleashed?" asked the co-founder of the Filipino fact-checking platform Rappler, noting that the owner of Instagram and WhatsApp "doesn't care about safety."
