Summary

Mark Zuckerberg ended Meta’s factchecking program on Facebook and Instagram, replacing it with user-submitted “Community Notes,” similar to Twitter.

The move is part of a broader shift to the political right, aligning with Donald Trump’s incoming administration.

Zuckerberg criticized factcheckers as “politically biased” and promised fewer “censorship mistakes.”

Meta has also elevated conservatives to key roles and moved content moderation operations from California to Texas, mirroring Elon Musk’s strategies.

While the changes may alienate liberals and some advertisers, analysts expect minimal financial impact on Meta.

    It’s so wild to me that all of these gun nuts cannot help but throwing out the point that it’s to combat tyranny for any argument ever, and then when they finally see tyranny, they’re literally buying fucking merch to further propagate it.

    You could write this into a movie or TV show, and it would be poorly reviewed for not being realistic.

      I think most of us could have predicted this decades and decades ago, though. Many are some of the same dinguses that fly the loser flag of traitors, after all.

        We talking about that actual dish rag or the other dish rag with an X on it?

          Well, the flag they should really fly if they want to celebrate “their heritage” is a white flag of surrender, since they lost.
