Meta is ending its fact-checking program in favor of a 'community notes' system similar to X

Meta is ending its third-party fact-checking program and replacing it with a Community Notes program written by users, similar to the model used by Elon Musk's X.
The company stated that expert fact-checkers had biases and too much content was being fact-checked, prompting this change.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that the changes are partly due to political events, including Donald Trump's election victory.
Meta plans to allow more speech by lifting restrictions on certain topics while focusing on illegal and high-severity violations like terrorism and child sexual exploitation.
