DICT, Meta to sign deal to delete fake contentMANILA, Philippines — The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) will forge a partnership with Meta, the parent firm of social media giants Facebook and Instagram, for a more targeted system in detecting and deleting inappropriate content. “Your kids, your money and your reputation are now better protected on Facebook,” the DICT said. Under the DICT’s Department Circular HRA-001, the agency revoked the accreditation process of DICT Trusted Assessment Providers (DTAPs) to replace it with a new one. The DICT will also ask DTAPs to show performance evaluation from clients over the past three years. Once requirements are complete, the DICT will examine the application and render a decision in seven days.
