Meta Discontinues Fact-Checking Amid Shift Towards Trump’s Free Speech Agenda

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has decided to terminate its third-party fact-checking program in the U.S.
  • The shift aligns the company closer to Donald Trump's administration, moving away from traditional moderation to a more crowdsourced model similar to X (formerly Twitter).
  • CEO Mark Zuckerberg cited "too many mistakes" as a reason for the change, emphasizing a return to "free expression."
  • The decision has received varied responses; while conservatives celebrate it as a win for free speech, others warn of increased disinformation.
  • Regulatory challenges may arise, especially with European laws mandating strong measures against misinformation, which could differ from U.S. policies.
