As we are heading to new political administration, Meta (META, Financial) has decided to end its fact-checking program in Facebook and Instagram and replace it with community notes to embrace free speech and reduce mistakes in content moderation citing political bias by prioritizing free speech. Meta listens and Meta doesn't judge.
By removing its fact-checking program, Meta becomes a less-judgmental platform that creates space for sharing without getting fact-checked. Meta promotes a more open dialogue, listens to all voices that could lead to varied opinions, take notes and the accuracy becomes the responsibility of the users.
The decision would lead to the challenge of ensuring that the summary written in the community notes is trustworthy and constructive. But the platform might become more appealing for hotter discussion afterward and could invite more users to login that would eventually lead to higher revenue.
