Meta’s Content Moderation Overhaul
Zuckerberg’s move is seen as a significant departure from Meta’s previous moderation practices, signaling a realignment toward political conservatism as Donald Trump’s administration prepares to take office.

During the CES event, Zuckerberg announced the suspension of Meta’s fact-checking program, signaling a pivot to the Community Notes model, which is already in use on X. In a video message, he acknowledged the shortcomings of Meta’s existing moderation systems.
“We’ve built a lot of complex systems to moderate content,” Zuckerberg said. “But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes. Even if they accidentally censor one percent of posts, that’s millions of people.”
