Facebook’s Meta fact-checking platform is terminating its partnership with Poynter Institute and the International Fact-Checking Network. The Poynter Institute and the International Fact-Checking Network are among the fact-checking partners on Meta. Notably, the Poynter Institute also operates PolitiFact, which is an Meta fact-checking partner. Meta said the move was due to it making “too many mistakes”.
