Meta ends U.S. third-party fact-checking, introduces "Community Notes" for user-driven context.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, plans to end its third-party fact-checking program in the U.S., replacing it with a "Community Notes" system. This new model will allow users to add context to posts, addressing concerns over the bias of third-party fact-checkers. Meta will focus on enforcing rules for illegal and severe violations while lifting restrictions on topics like immigration and gender. The changes aim to restore free expression while relying on community involvement to address misinformation.
