Meta's New Fact-Check: You Flag It!

In a bold 2025 move, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the end of third-party fact-checkers on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, opting for a user-driven 'Community Notes' system. This shift, aimed at championing free speech, has stirred the pot: Donald Trump and his allies cheer, while digital rights groups frown. As misinformation sails freely, Zuckerberg remains optimistic, suggesting users can now fact-check each other – or not. The transition begins this month, promising a more open yet unpredictable social landscape.
