X CEO Linda Yaccarino expressed admiration for Meta and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg during a keynote address at CES 2025 in Las Vegas.
She highlighted Meta’s decision to replace its long-standing fact-checking program with community-driven notes, describing the move as both “exciting” and “validating.”

“I think it’s really exciting when you think about community notes being good for the world … and it couldn’t be more validating than to see that Mark and Meta realize that,” Yaccarino stated. “Mark, Meta, welcome to the party.”
Both Yaccarino and X owner Elon Musk have been strong advocates for the crowd-sourced fact-checking approach that Meta now plans to implement across its platforms.
Yaccarino’s enthusiasm for Zuckerberg’s decision stems from her belief that cutting ties with traditional media fact-checking partners aligns with a broader push for decentralized content moderation.
