Meta's Shift in Content Moderation

Meta is transitioning away from independent fact-checkers towards a community-driven model, akin to that of X, where users flag posts for inaccuracies. This decision has sparked significant criticism, particularly given its timing amid Donald Trump’s incoming presidency and past criticisms of Meta's moderation practices. The shift has raised concerns about the potential increase in disinformation and harmful content on platforms like Instagram and Facebook, especially after observing troubling trends on X. Critics argue that this move may reflect a political strategy rather than a genuine commitment to free speech, as Meta faces backlash over how misinformation could propagate unchecked.
