Facebook owner Meta is ending its third-party fact-checking program and will instead rely on its users to flag misinformation.
The social media platform on Tuesday said it will “allow more speech by removing restrictions on certain topics that are part of mainstream discourse and focusing our enforcement on illegal and serious violations” and “taking a more personal approach to political content”.
Starting in the US, Meta will move to a so-called “community notes” model, similar to the one used by Elon Musk’s X, which allows users to add context to controversial or misleading posts. Meta itself does not write community notes.
