backMeta announced significant changes to its content moderation and fact-checking policies. The updates include a relaxation of restrictions on discussions about immigration, gender identity, and sexual orientation and the discontinuation of its third-party fact-checking program. Instead, the company will implement a “community notes” system, allowing users to correct information, similar to the model used by Elon Musk’s platform X.
In Brazil, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office has requested clarification from Meta regarding the application of these changes in the country and their potential impact on users. Globally, the updates signal a broader approach by the company to content moderation and information management on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.
