I've spent my career grappling with bias. As an executive at Meta overseeing news and fact-checking, I saw how algorithms and AI systems shape what billions see and believe. At CNN, I even hosted "No Bias, No Bull" (easier said than done, as it turned out). 🧵 Trump's executive order on "woke AI" has reignited debate around bias and AI. The implication was clear: AI systems aren't just tools, they're new media institutions, and the people behind them can shape public opinion as much as any newsroom ever did.

We’ve reluctantly made the decision to restrict the availability of news on Facebook in Australia. Our goal was to find resolution that strengthened collaboration with publishers, but the legislation fails to recognize fundamental relationship between us & news organizations Publishers choose to share their stories on Facebook because they get value from doing so, from finding new readers to getting new subscribers. We provide free tools, products and programs to support their goals.
