he welcomed an announcement by mark zuckerberg — the boss of meta — the company that runs facebook and instagramm all their services, saying they were too politically biased. the company has over 2 billion facebook users alone. in a video message, mr zuckerberg said the recent us elections felt to him like a "cultural tipping point, prioritising free speech." here's zoe kleinman. mark zuckerberg has undergone something of a metamorphosis in recent months. last year he changed his appearance, and now he's changed his mind about one of social media's trickiest issues — content moderation. meta's owner, who controls facebook, instagram and threads, announced today that he's ending the process of content fact—checking by independent parties. it's currently a big tool in the fight against misinformation on his platforms, but now, he says, the rules are too restrictive and the moderators themselves are biased. we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship. the recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritising speech. so we're goi

big changes coming to instagram and facebook announced by mark zuckerberg himself. first, we're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes. community notes from users like what you see on x instead of meta's previous third party fact checkers. but the fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the us. it's a move criticized by consumer groups, who say those who use social media are vulnerable to misinformation. so this is a pathetic and nakedly transparent effort by zuckerberg to cozy up to the new leadership in washington. common sense media believes young users will be especially vulnerable. meta's announcement will have a devastating impact on young people in particular, who are widely exposed to misinformation and disinformation and all sorts of unmoderated content on platforms like instagram and facebook. but some meta watchers say misinformation has been rampant on social media for years. they say change is a good idea. maybe people who normally wouldn't spe

, meta has decided to stop using its independent fact—checking programme on its platforms facebook and instagram going to replace that with community notes — a system where users assess posts and, if they deem it necessary, add clarifications or context. it's a system already used on elon musk�*s x platform. and the meta boss mark zuckerberg announced the change in a video he posted on instagram. after trump the legacy media wrote — after trump the legacy media wrote non—stop about how legacy media _ wrote non—stop about how legacy media was— wrote non—stop about how legacy media was a threat to democracy. that checkers have been _ democracy. that checkers have been too — democracy. that checkers have been too politically biased and have _ been too politically biased and have destroyed my trust and they— have destroyed my trust and they put _ have destroyed my trust and they put in especially in the us — they put in especially in the us 0ver— they put in especially in the us. overthe they put in especially in the us. over the next couple of months _ us. over the next couple of months we will pha
