Meta is overhauling its content moderation by replacing third-party fact checks with crowd-sourced 'Community Notes' and relaxing restrictions on discussions around immigration and gender identity.
Under the updated policy, calling gay and trans people 'mentally ill' is permitted, a significant shift in moderation attitudes and principles the company has previously adhered to.
Joel Kaplan, the new policy lead, stated that Meta aims for 'More Speech and Fewer Mistakes', signaling a preference for less intervention in what it considers lawful discussions even if they are potentially harmful.
Mark Zuckerberg emphasized a shift in the company’s content review operations to Texas, highlighting an intention to combat perceived biases in content moderation while aligning more closely with the incoming administration.
