A group fighting misinformation says Facebook's solution to moderation shouldn't just be switching off fact-checkers. 

Meta, which also owns Instagram, says it will change to community based moderation like that used on X.

But Fact Aotearoa spokesperson Stephen Judd says they believe in a solution to misinformation which is much more long-term.
