Content Moderation Concerns with Reduced Fact-Checking and Agency Collaboration

• Meta ended third-party fact-checking on its platforms, shifting to user comments on post accuracy, similar to X's Community Notes.
• This follows leadership and board changes seemingly aligning Meta more with incoming President Trump's views.
• The FBI and DHS have also scaled back efforts to counter violent extremism online.
• This raises concerns about potential increases in extremist content as agencies avoid tipping off social media companies and proactive removal decreases.
