Social media company Meta Platforms on Tuesday scrapped its U.S. fact-checking program and reduced curbs on discussions around contentious topics such as immigration and gender identity, bowing to criticism from conservatives as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office for a second time.
Meta, the parent company of Facebook, has decided to discontinue its third-party fact-checking program, a move that comes just before a potential second Trump administration. This decision reverses a policy established in 2016 aimed at combating misinformation on its platforms. The change will see the removal of fact-checking labels from posts, and fact-checked content will no longer be demoted in users' feeds. This policy shift has raised concerns among misinformation experts and former employees about the potential increase in the spread of false information, especially given the timing with the upcoming election and the possibility of a Trump presidency, which historically has been associated with challenges to media credibility and factual reporting. The decision was influenced by the need to comply with new European Union regulations, but it has broader implications for the integrity of information on social media platforms globally.
