Meta partners with Newsmax to power AI with right-wing content
The takeaway: Meta signed a deal to train its AI models on current reporting and archives from Newsmax, despite the network's low credibility rating and past settlements over election fraud claims.
Concrete details
- NewsGuard rates Newsmax's credibility at 20 out of 100 for violating basic journalism standards.
- Meta products reach over 3.9 billion monthly users across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
