Fears as Facebook axes fact checking

THE father of a 14-year-old girl who took her own life after seeing harmful material online has blasted Meta for scrapping its fact-checking programme.

Ian Russell, whose daughter Molly died in 2017, said the decision by the tech firm, which owns Facebook and Instagram, was a "major concern for safety online".

He said: "These moves could have dire consequences for children and young adults." Meta boss Mark Zuckerberg admitted the changes meant catching "less bad stuff", but claimed fact checkers were "too politically biased".
