Political Content Returns Once Meta Discontinues its Fact-Checking Program

On Tuesday, Meta declared that it would switch to a “Community Notes” format, such to the one seen on Elon Musk’s platform X, and discontinue its third-party fact-checking program in an effort to “restore free expression.” Over the following few months, the functionality will be introduced in the United States.

Community Notes will be created and assessed by contributing users to provide posts on its platforms additional context.

With the statement, Meta is making yet another effort to mend fences with Republican President-elect Donald Trump prior to his inauguration.

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, stated in a video message on Tuesday that “we’ve reached a point where it’s just too many mistakes, and too much censorship.”
