Meta Goes Free Speech? Insta Is A Messaging App, and Reddit Takes $60 Million from Google

_______________
📝 Overview
Meta’s rolling the dice with a major free speech move, ditching third-party fact-checkers for user-driven ‘Community Notes.’ Is this the dawn of a new era for online truth or a recipe for misinformation chaos?

Meanwhile, Spotify is upping the ante, offering creators a chance to monetize through video engagement and ads—echoing YouTube’s playbook but with a Spotify twist.

And Instagram? It’s doubling down on AI and messaging for 2025, but will this bring users closer or create more cluttered feeds?

We’ll also look at X’s questionable flex over user engagement stats and why Reddit is quietly taking Google to task when it comes to product research and purchase influence.
