“Tuesday morning, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced a major overhaul to the content policies for Facebook, Instagram and Threads, cutting back restrictions on several politically contentious topics and putting an end to the company’s independent fact-checking program. And while he had everyone’s attention, he got in a dig at California. In his five-minute video announcement, Zuckerberg framed the policy shifts as a return to his Menlo Park company’s ‘roots around free expression.’ … ‘We’re going to move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our U.S.-based content review is going to be based in Texas,’ the CEO said. ‘As we work to promote free expression, I think that will help us build trust to do this work in places where there’s less concern about the bias of our teams.'” (01/07/25)
