New YorkCNN —
In a number of sweeping changes that will significantly alter the way that posts, videos and other content are moderated online, Meta will adjust its content review policies on Facebook and Instagram, getting rid of fact checkers and replacing them with user-generated “community notes,” similar to Elon Musk’s X, CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Tuesday.
The changes come just before President-elect Donald Trump is set to take office. Trump and other Republicans have lambasted Zuckerberg and Meta for what they view as censorship of right-wing voices.
“Fact checkers have been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created,” Zuckerberg said in a video announcing the new policy Tuesday. “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.”

Zuck’s problem is that he is right. He has already destroyed more trust than he will be able to rebuild now that Musk has a balanced platform out there. Why would any non-lib ever go back? Now he will probably lose a good number of libs too as they will see him as a lib traitor.
There’s no reason to trust Zuckerberg. No reason at all.
Known as “sucking up”, Data(2) is trying to distract/dissuade from Trump’s Fed Zuck Bucks investigations. Meanwhile, Bezos gives Trump $1mill for the inauguration party, hoping Mr. T won’t sue him like he did ABC sNews for all the lies WAPO has printed over the years. The same reason MSNPCs Mika and Giant Forehead grovelled at Trump’s feet.
