Meta expanding fact-checking to Threads ahead of US, India elections

Meta is expanding its fact-checking programme to Threads platform, as the US and India gear up for general elections next year.

Instagram head Adam Mosseri said in a post that the company is working to extend its fact-checking programme on Threads next year.

“We currently match fact-check ratings from Facebook or Instagram to Threads, but our goal is for fact-checking partners to have the ability to review and rate misinformation on the App. More to come soon,” he informed.

Early next year, the third-party fact-checking partners will be able to review and rate false content on Threads.
