    Meta’s platforms want engagement, not truth. They are positively incentivized to get rid of anti-disinformation teams, since the spread of disinformation will increase engagement on their platforms.

    Just one of the ways Meta (and Twitter, which is actively doing something similar) are bad platforms.

      Yeah, but this likely has more to do with the first amendment lawsuits that conservatives are pushing through the courts not that the SC is a 6/3 right wing majority. A lot of tech companies are doing this so they don’t get dragged into that.
