Meta is changing its rules on content moderation. It is:

Eliminating third-party fact checking.

Shifting to community notes program, similar to what X uses.

Lifting restrictions on topics—such as immigration and gender identity.

Increasing political content for those who want it.

Meta is also moving its Content Moderation and Safety Team from California to Texas, in what it says “is an attempt to avoid political bias.” “Too much harmless content has been censored using automated systems, so those systems will only scan for illegal and highly severity violations—such as terrorism, Decius exploitation, and scams.” Zuckerberg states:

“The reality is that this is a trade-off. It means we’re going to catch les bad stuff. We’ll also reduce the number of innocent people’s posts and accounts that we accidentally take down.”

Biden was forcing Facebook to censor posts, and when America censors, that gives a carte blanch to the international community (that doesn’t have the First Amendment) to do far worse. Lastly, UFC founder, Dana White, has joined the Board.

Zuckerberg also said: “After Trump got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote nonstop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. We tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created, especially in the U.S. What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas, and it’s gone too far. I’m looking forward to this next chapter. And more to come soon.”

And this is the dumbest part. Heavily biased Texas, where the extremists run the State, and don't give women "freedom" at all, when it comes to body autonomy.

You were never subject to the bias and censorship. Now people can argue among themselves about what is true or not.

I wouldn't call it succumbing to the Trump Effect. Perhaps Zuckenberg has had a change of heart or matured and grew some balls instead of allowing himself and his platform to be tools of political parties.

The factfukkers as my friend liked to call them were an aberration and were so biased, they were a joke, and an unfunny one at that.

Agreed. However, I would just note that: 1. This transformation occurred President Trump won the election. 2. President Trump had announce during his campaign that he was going to go after those companies who violate free speech (legally because of discrimination) by the Presidential civil rights office. 3. Zuckerberg saw the light after his visit to Mar-A-Lago. I leave you with this: Would Zuckerberg had made tgeee decisions if Harris had won? 🤷‍♀️
