Meta to Overhaul Content Censorship
“We will end the current third party fact checking program in the United States and instead begin moving to a Community Notes program. ”
Meta recently announced changes to its content moderation approach on Facebook and Instagram.
💻 Moving to a Community Notes model and ending fact-changing program in the US.
💻 Lift restrictions on some topics that are part of mainstream discourse and focus enforcement on illegal and high-severity violations.
💻Political content will be served based on personal preference.
The initiative looks to enhance free speech to reduce censorship, simplify content policies, and moderation being more community driven. The announcement dropped in the wake of an upcoming US political leadership change and UFC CEO and president, Dana White joining the board of directors.
