Top Meta exec blames users for spreading misinformation
CNN
Individual users, not tech platforms, shoulder the responsibility for the spread of misinformation online, according to Andrew Bosworth, a top exec at Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook.
In an interview over the weekend with Axios on HBO, Bosworth said it is not up to Meta to stifle the views of individuals who wish to express themselves by sharing their beliefs.
"The individual humans are the ones who choose to believe or not believe a thing; they're the ones that choose to share or not to share a thing," Bosworth told Axios's Ina Fried in a snippet of the interview.
Researchers are uncovering deeper insights into how the human brain ages and what factors may be tied to successful cognitive aging ((is successful the best word to use? seems like we’ll all do it successfully but for some people it may be healthier or gentler or slower?)), including exercising, avoiding tobacco, speaking a second language or even playing a musical instrument.
