Episode description
Days before Donald Trump’s inauguration Mark Zuckerberg has announced META is scrapping third-party fact-checking which he says will 'curtail censorship'. But could this lead to a bonfire of misinformation?
On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks to Sky’s science and tech team Tom Clarke and Mickey Carroll about how social media companies are already bending in the direction of the president-elect and what the future of social platforms could be like under Trump’s presidency.
They also discuss the looming ban of TikTok and whether the Chinese-operated platform has a place under Mr Trump.
