Meta's decision to end US fact-checking partnerships by March is driven by a shift in 'changing perceptions of free speech,' with a plan to replace it with Community Notes.
Contracts with the current ten US fact-checking organizations will cease in March, while payments will continue until August, providing a severance option for non-renewing partners.
Meta's transition from traditional fact-checking to a Community Notes system aims to promote more free expression, although details on implementation and participation remain unclear and under development.
The rollout of Community Notes will stretch throughout 2025, with a cautious approach to global expansion based on how the program performs in the US first.
