Meta Backs Down from Censorship Program, Will Release Content Creators from 'Facebook Jail'

The parent company of Facebook and Instagram has announced it's putting an end to its program that restricted free speech and censored messages that its "fact checkers" didn't agree with.

The Meta company is officially scrapping its third-party fact-checking program. Instead, it'll be shifting to a Community Notes model similar to what Elon Musk has used on his social media platform X. That method of accountability allows users to weigh in on the veracity of posts.

Meta is admitting that its third-party fact-checkers had their own biases and too much content ended up being silenced. Critics have said that all the "fact-checking" just ended up becoming a pathway for censorship.
