Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced major changes to the company's moderation policies, including ending its fact-checking program and replacing it with a community-driven system similar to X’s Community Notes. Zuckerberg emphasized a return to "free expression" and reducing mistakes in content moderation. Changes include loosening content policies on political topics, reintroducing political content in feeds, and focusing moderation efforts on high-severity violations such as terrorism and child exploitation. The trust and safety team will relocate to Texas, and content filters will require higher confidence before removing posts. Zuckerberg announced Meta's plans to collaborate with the Trump administration to counter global censorship and defend free speech.
