Measure 21.3

QRE 21.3.1
Relevant Signatories will report on their procedures for developing and deploying labelling or warning systems and how they take scientific evidence and their users' needs into account to maximise usefulness.
As mentioned in our baseline report, the fact-checking programme’s ratings as well as its labels were developed in close consultation with fact-checkers and misinformation experts. 

Meta also works closely with independent experts who possess knowledge and expertise to determine what constitutes misinformation that is likely to directly contribute to imminent harm.
