Summary
Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta will eliminate factcheckers, reduce content censorship, and recommend more political content on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
He emphasized prioritizing free speech, inspired by Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
Meta plans to replace factcheckers with “community notes,” similar to Elon Musk’s X platform, and shift content moderation teams to Texas.
Restrictions on sensitive topics like immigration and gender will be eased, focusing moderation on severe violations.
Critics and Meta’s oversight board urge external input to ensure effective, balanced content governance.
Another arm of the Trump administration. Goebbels would be amazed.
Zuckerberg said Meta’s “factcheckers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created”.
Well which side of the political spectrum’s just been spewing bullshit after bullshit to make fact checkers look like they are acting more heavy-handedly towards one side?
Not that logic matters to these people anyways. The idea has always been “I don’t like what these people are saying”, and they’ve now reached a point where they don’t even care if people call em out.
Yeah I just got a message from Instagram Meta AI saying I asked for “reals on cooking steak”.
The fuck I did. I’m going to have to finally delete all this shit. I eat steak like once a year, and when I do, I cook that shit masterfully.

There is no generation war. There is a class war though, and this guy is not on our side.
“I hope that guy gets murdered.”
What, that’s free speech. Which is a priority now. Under another guy “who should get murdered on, like, next Tuesday at 6pm.” And anyone who wants to posit that this is simply another hypocritcial move to flood the social waves with right-wing spewformation to lock in riches for the rich and pain for the poors is simply not a good businessman. Clearly there’s been an “overwhelming mandate” for “free speech”.
Because nothing matters and what if it did.
Tech billionaires had 4 years to prepare for another Trump term and they‘re not wasting a second to go full fascist this time around. The parallels to industrials in and around 1930s Germany are horrifyingly staggering. These lizards only care about the bottom line. Always did.
