Meta announces major changes to its content moderation

Meta is making significant changes to its content moderation practices, moving from a fact-checking system to community notes, similar to the system on X (formerly Twitter). This change, announced by Mark Zuckerberg, is aimed at reducing perceived political bias and censorship. The changes will first roll out in the U.S. and include simplifying content policies and moving moderation teams to Texas. The announcement has sparked political discussions, especially in light of recent elections, with concerns about the impact on information reliability and accusations of bias against conservative outlets.
