Meta's recent termination of its independent fact-checking program represents a shift towards more lenient content moderation and a newfound commitment to free expression, according to Zuckerberg's statements.
Zuckerberg acknowledged that the content moderation practices since the 2016 elections have gone increasingly far, indicating a desire to balance such moderation with users' rights to free speech.
While the end of independent fact-checkers at Meta is seen positively by some, critics argue that simply lifting speech restrictions doesn't address past censorship issues that affected diverse viewpoints.
As Zuckerberg re-engages with prominent right-leaning figures and organizations, many are watching closely to see if Meta's actions genuinely reflect a change in their content policies.
