Summerizing and humanizing the provided content to a 2000-word structure in English, we will first introduce the situation and impact of Meta’s plan to terminate its fact-checking program. Then, we will discuss the rise of false information and its potential risks on vulnerable user communities, particularly in low-and-middle-income countries. After that, we will highlight the growing threats of information disorder affecting the information age, the role of technology in spreading false information, and the specific challenges faced in these regions. Next, we will focus on research efforts, such as focus groups, in countries like Ethiopia, Zambia, and others. We will then delve into the study methodologies, including qualitative and mixed methods, and the innovative projects conducted in contexts such as Indonesia and Nepal. Finally, we will summarize the research findings and their implications for improving information environments and digital media literacy. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities surrounding Meta’s exit and the troubling rise of false information.
