**Georgia‘s Ruling Party Welcomes Facebook’s Change**
Georgia’s ruling party, the Georgian Dream (GD), is happy about a change on Facebook. The social media giant Meta is now using “community notes” instead of independent fact-checkers to decide what information is true or not.
The GD welcomes this change because they think it will be easier for them to post their content on Facebook and Instagram without being checked. In the past, Facebook has removed some of the GD’s posts that were labeled as false by independent fact-checkers.
**What Does This Mean?**
This means that Facebook is giving more power to its users to decide what information they want to believe. But this change only applies in the United States for now. The head of a local non-governmental organization, Tamar Kintsurashvili, said that this change does not affect fact-checkers in Europe.
**GD’s Reaction**
The GD is celebrating this change because it thinks it will be able to spread their message more easily on Facebook and Instagram. However, some people are skeptical about the GD’s motives. They think that the GD wants to control the information people see on social media to influence public opinion.
