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.
