Meta is ending its third-party fact-checking program in the US, citing that it inadvertently turned into a censorship tool, limiting legitimate political speech.
Joel Kaplan, Meta's Chief Global Affairs Officer, stated that too much legitimate political discourse was labeled as misinformation, leading to reduced distribution and intrusive labels.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg indicated that moving the content moderation team to Texas, a Republican-leaning state, could enhance trust in their moderation processes.
The company intends to encourage open speech by removing restrictions on political topics, allowing for a more balanced discourse on issues like immigration and gender identity.
