Meta has announced the discontinuation of its Fact-Checking program across its social media networks.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg confirmed this decision, revealing that the company plans to replace the program with a community-driven system, similar to those used on platforms like X.
The Fact-Checking program was introduced by Meta in 2016 in response to the spread of misinformation during the U.S. presidential election.
The shift in strategy will affect users of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads worldwide, as the company moves towards a new approach to managing content on its platforms.
This change is expected to have a significant impact on how misinformation is addressed across Meta’s networks.
