Meta will terminate its fact-checking program, opting for a system of community notes akin to X-style, aimed at enhancing free speech.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized that this shift intends to return to the company’s roots and combat perceived censorship from governments and legacy media.
New Chief Global Affairs Officer, Joel Kaplan, stated that community notes will not be curated by Meta, ensuring diverse perspectives contribute to content evaluations.
The rollout will proceed in phases across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, with an aim to simplify moderation policies on politically sensitive topics.
Zuckerberg's comments reflect an ongoing effort to improve relations with former President Trump, amidst criticisms of Meta's past moderation practices.
