The Wire retracts stories on Facebook parent Meta

The Wire has retracted stories that it wrote about Facebook parent Meta.

A story on its website states, “We are still reviewing the entire matter, including the possibility that it was deliberately sought to misinform or deceive The Wire.

“Lapses in editorial oversight are also being reviewed, as are editorial roles, so that failsafe protocols are put in place ensuring the accuracy of all source-based reporting.

“Given the discrepancies that have come to our attention via our review so far, The Wire will also conduct a thorough review of previous reporting done by the technical team involved in our Meta coverage, and remove the stories from public view till that process is complete.”
