Meta’s content moderation U-turn: Company to phase out active fact-checking
Social media giant Meta has announced the termination of its fact-checking program in the United States. Previously overseen by specialised research organizations, the initiative will be replaced by a community-based system, akin to the one implemented by X (formerly Twitter).
This decision marks a significant reversal in Meta’s approach to content moderation, coinciding with Donald Trump’s return to office. - Al-Jazeera 8 Jan 2025
