“media coverage of child and young migrants often frames them in a limited and problematic way. This oversimplified and polarised representation fails to capture their complex situations and the reasons for seeking safety in Europe.”

Mr Zuckerberg's misrepresentation of independent and professional #factchecking organisations as biased censors and his attack of the #EU policy framework are concerning – and in stark contrast with #Meta's previous commitment to make its services safer for all users. Our statement: loom.ly/zy937rs

My 2 cents on the recent statement by Mark Zuckerberg #disinformation #meta
