Meta's chief executive officer Mark Zuckerberg announced changes in the company's outlook
00:06
on content moderation. He said that in the coming months, Meta's social media platforms
00:12
Facebook and Instagram will gradually work on removing fact checkers. Zuckerberg says
00:18
the old system will be replaced by a new feature similar to his competitor Elon Musk's community
00:23
notes on X.
00:25
We're going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes similar
00:30
to X starting in the US. After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote
00:37
nonstop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. We tried in good faith to address
00:42
those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the fact checkers have just
00:47
been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially
00:52
in the US.
00:55
Zuckerberg says the company will also simplify its content policies and remove many restrictions
01:00
currently in place on topics like immigration and gender. He added that filters and systems
01:06
in place which previously limited users' free speech will be repurposed to create a
01:10
more inclusive environment. He's also pledged to work with the incoming Trump administration
01:16
to fight for freedom of speech and push back on repression of opinions.
