Meta Platforms is experiencing user backlash following a shift to community notes-style content moderation similar to competitor X. Many users unexpectedly found themselves following controversial figures post-inauguration, leading to confusion and frustration. Additionally, there have been reports of abortion-related posts being suspended or hidden, which Meta attributes to its pharmaceutical sales rules, despite the timing raising concerns about the effectiveness of its moderation policies. Meta acknowledged 'over-enforcement' but stated their goal to allow more speech and reduce mistakes in enforcement processes.
Meta's shift to community notes-style content moderation may lead to a decline in user engagement, as many users feel surprised and frustrated by sudden changes in content visibility.
Despite Meta's claims that recent post removals were unrelated to content policy changes, users noticed drastic shifts in account followings and content restrictions during a politically charged time.
