Not So Private Messaging: Facebook Announces ‘Fact Checking’ in WhatsApp For French Election
Facebook parent company Meta has announced it will be implementing a ‘fact checking’ service in its messaging platform WhatsApp, in order to counter so-called ‘fake news’ during the upcoming French presidential election.

Digital messaging service WhatsApp is launching a new ‘fact checking’ service implemented in France, according to an announcement made by the service’s parent company, Meta.

The move is part of the company’s efforts to tackle so-called ‘fake news’ during the upcoming French presidential election, with the Silicon Valley giant also announcing new anti-disinfo measures for its Instagram and Facebook platforms.

According to a post on the company’s French-language website, a service allowing WhatsApp users to submit video, audio, and other content to so-called ‘fact checkers’ to be verified was launched on Thursday.

The service is being operated by Agence France-Presse, which Meta bills as the company’s ‘fact-checking partner’.

“This new, unprecedented service in France – which comes in addition to the reporting tools available on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger – marks an important step in the fight against false information by allowing all users of the WhatsApp application in France to easily access the information verification work of a media recognized for its expertise in this field,” a statement reads.

Facebook has also promised that it will make “significant efforts to combat the dissemination of false information” on its platforms, saying that it will “remove content” that violates the company’s “Community Standards”,

In particular, the company claims that it will target “the most serious categories of false information, including content that is intended to limit voter turnout or likely to lead to imminent violence or physical harm”.

Also being set up as part of ramped-up anti-disinformation measures are campaigns aimed at increasing the “media literacy” of the general population, which will be rolled out on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.



The company’s CEO — tech multi-billionaire Mark Zuckerberg — has openly admitted that the company actively interfered in political speech in the run-up to Ireland’s seminal referendum on abortion in 2018, with the company blocking pro-life ads on the platform ahead of the public vote.

Politicians in India have also accused the Facebook platform of meddling in the country’s electoral democracy, with the social media giant reportedly giving “favourable treatment on election-related issues” to certain political groups.

Meanwhile, privacy changes made to the WhatsApp app have led to serious information privacy concerns from both users as well as government officials, with Politico reporting that the EU is now threatening Meta with sanctions over how the messaging app gathers user data.

“We are not in a dialogue around a simple cup of tea; we are asking them to address real concerns,” the publication reports European Justice Commissioner Didier Reynders as saying regarding the controversy.

They are really mad, REALLY mad. And of course the stock "nazi" insult doesn't work against Zermour since he is jewish which makes them even more mad.

Trump gave him support, which is great news.



Given the state of the country, it will likely be a Zenmour victory and a colective pants shitting by globalists far worse than the Truckers protest in Canada.

Le Pen is a socialist just as much as Macron is, the difference is in their attitudes towards a handful of small issues. I doubt she'd be any better.

I doubt anything meaningful will change in France. The reason for that is Paris. That shithole decides the election, so of course the leftoids stuffed it with leftwing scum.
The entire French empire has always been explicitly designed to serve the interests of the metropole. Their elections are designed to weed out undesirables and their soft institutions protect their own no matter how many proles burn cars in the streets. There's a reason they were so cozy with the Nazis and it wasn't because they thought Germans were any better than Jews.

I'm kind of starting to think that states need to have a kind of dual leadership system to ensure that urban areas do not lead the rest of a state around by the nose and exploit them - a kind of co-consul system so to speak. One would represent the urban centers and the other the rural areas, and nothing could be done unless both of them agreed. Or perhaps it would be better to just have a separation of some kind, effectively making the major cities their own states.

Yeah I think one of the greatest political divides is definitely urban v rural or even small town v large city. The cultural differences between them is huge. Also the cities that spring up around resources like oil even if large seem to be closer to rural mindsets. I would love a book or documentary or studies to learn about all the differences. Like what are the psychological effects of living in a dense urban enviroment vs a more rural area etc etc.

Though I wonder if with the advent of covid and its effect on more and more people working from home if large cities will start getting smaller over time and that may be a natural way to bridge the gap. The vast majority of down towns are just offices and hopefully a bunch of those can go the way of the dodo.

Really the main issues of these super cities is the power they hold over everywhere else in their state or country if more people where spread out maybe the culture would shift and the power would be lessened.


So I don't double post Edit:

Also I think in general capitals of countries are kinda outdated and it would be healthier for the countries if the different organs of government ie legislative executive judicial where spread out across the country and the headquarters of their respective armies navies and police etc should be spread all over the place so all those people dont eat at the same burger joints and become friends. Having all of that in one spot before phones and such made sense but now I feel thats a compromise we can do away with. Or if that cant work for some reason have the government stuff built away from any kind of civilization and make it where no one can live there its too easy to concentrate power in those places in backrooms and restaurant.

I dont think either of those would solve everything but maybe it could slow some of the corruption down

Completely different, a famous corsican nationalist that was in prison for killing a deputy a long time ago was put in the same cell as a muslim extremist, said extremist proceeded to try and murder him and put him in coma, leading to this.
