Mark Zuckerberg just announced that both FB and Meta will fire fact checkers and use a new community notes system like X instead.

He admits fact checkers are too politically biased and that he needs Trump’s help to stop other countries from censoring content.

Elon’s courage with X is contagious. This is the boldest move Zuckerberg has ever made. He’s also moving some key jobs to Texas to account for the political bias of Meta being in California. He describes these sweeping changes as part of a culture shift that came about during the election. They’ll also begin recommending political content again which they had stopped doing as part of the left’s push to end "disinformation" which was really an attempt to stop people from getting the truth.

He says he couldn’t have made these changes under Biden because Democrats were pushing for more censorship and it emboldened other countries to do the same which put the company on a defensive footing.

It’s going to take time to see that this is a real dedication to change and not a stunt to get into Trump’s good graces (maybe in an attempt to get TikTok sold to them?) but assuming this is real, it’s a huge deal. I’ve given Zuck a lot of criticism especially since my accounts on IG/FB have both been censored but if he’s serious then I give him credit because the leftists at Meta corporate are going to be throwing major tantrums over this.
