Under the Influence | A CIIA Podcast

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that the company would scale back its content moderation efforts and move to replace it with a community-notes system. This decision has been met with intense criticism from the international fact-checking community, who have claimed it will fuel the spread of disinformation on Meta's platforms. In this episode, CIIA Director Herman Wasserman is joined by Cayley Clifford, Deputy Chief Editor of Africa Check, and Kavisha Pillay, Executive Director of Campaign on Digital Ethics (CODE), to discuss the implications of this new policy for Meta users in the Global South. Africa Check: https://africacheck.org/ CODE: https://www.code-sa.org/ Under the Influence is produced by the Centre for Information Integrity in Africa (CIIA) at Stellenbosch University. https://ciia.africa/
