Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a series of major changes to the company's moderation policies and practices, saying the election felt like a "cultural tipping point."

"While Zuckerberg characterized the platform giant’s new approach as a defence of free speech, its real intentions are twofold: Ditch the technology company’s responsibility to protect its many users and align the company more closely with an incoming president who’s a known enemy of accountability," Benavidez said in the press release.

Facebook and Instagram owner Meta said Tuesday it's scrapping its third-party fact-checking program and replacing it with Community Notes written by users similar to the model used by Elon Musk's social media platform X.
