Mark Zuckerberg says company will ‘dramatically reduce censorship’ across Facebook, Instagram and Threads

Summary

Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta will eliminate factcheckers, reduce content censorship, and recommend more political content on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

He emphasized prioritizing free speech, inspired by Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

Meta plans to replace factcheckers with “community notes,” similar to Elon Musk’s X platform, and shift content moderation teams to Texas.

Restrictions on sensitive topics like immigration and gender will be eased, focusing moderation on severe violations.

Critics and Meta’s oversight board urge external input to ensure effective, balanced content governance.

    “I hope that guy gets murdered.”

    What, that’s free speech. Which is a priority now. Under another guy “who should get murdered on, like, next Tuesday at 6pm.” And anyone who wants to posit that this is simply another hypocritcial move to flood the social waves with right-wing spewformation to lock in riches for the rich and pain for the poors is simply not a good businessman. Clearly there’s been an “overwhelming mandate” for “free speech”.

    Because nothing matters and what if it did.
