Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday said the social media company is putting an end to its fact-check program and replacing it with a community-driven system akin to that of Elon Musk's X.

In explaining the decision, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg nodded to a "cultural tipping point" after Trump's election.

Meta CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg said the more than a decade-long programme has been politically biased, curtailing free speech on its platforms.

In a post on (where else?) Threads, Mosseri said the company will be shifting away from its opt-in requirement for users to see political content.
