Meta Cuts Fact-Checking: Why Digital Literacy Matters
In January 2025, Meta Platforms announced the discontinuation of its third-party fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram, opting instead for a user-driven "Community Notes" system similar to that of X (formerly Twitter). This shift has raised concerns among experts and users about the potential increase in misinformation and hate speech on these platforms. Critics argue that relying on user-generated content moderation may be less effective than professional fact-checking, potentially exacerbating the spread of false information. As online environments evolve, it becomes more important than ever to teach our children about fake news, hoaxes, safe internet use, and netiquette.

A new global study of over 80,000 parent reports shows that passive high screen time in children aged 4–6 is linked to lower well-being. The study, published in April 2025, found that higher screen time correlates with issues in psychosocial well-being, social functioning, parent-child relationships, and behavioral functioning. However, the researchers emphasize that the type and context of digital content also play significant roles in these outcomes. They suggest that parents can mitigate negative effects by moderating screen time, choosing high-quality educational content, and engaging in tech activities with their children. (Medical Xpress)
