Richard Horton: 我认为Meta决定取消事实核查员将对科学、对科学的信任以及更广泛的科学信息产生影响。用用户生成的社区笔记取代专业事实核查员和版主,无法保护 Facebook 上信息的有效性,反而会导致错误信息的恶化和极端化。包括《柳叶刀》、Meta 和 X 在内的所有媒体公司都应致力于促进健康的公共辩论,并对真理、保护弱势群体、惩罚仇恨和加强信任做出承诺。Meta 的决定将导致信息领域的混乱和无政府状态,并为关于科学的错误信息打开闸门,医学和科学界需要对此发出更强烈的声音。 Jessamy Baganal: 我认为Meta确实投入了数百万美元用于事实核查,这表明他们确实有承诺。大型组织不重视错误信息,这造成了巨大的分歧,其后果是巨大的。将事实核查视为具有政治偏见是错误的,因为共和党人分享的错误信息更多。马克·扎克伯格将事实核查从加利福尼亚转移到得克萨斯州,这表明他并没有寻求中间立场。 Gavin Cleaver: 社交媒体用户更容易传播包含愤怒情绪的错误信息,因此需要版主来抑制这种传播。Meta 用社区版主取代专业版主是不够的,因为用户没有时间或义务去审核内容。

Shownotes Transcript

Richard, Gavin, and Jessamy return to the studio for another freeform discussion kicking off with the responsibilities of science and scientific publishing in a time where fact checking and moderation are going out of fashion. We also cover climate change in the US with the recent wildfires, and the importance of retaining institutional memory following traumatic experiences after Richard was particularly struck by a recent trip to Argentina.
