With the policy shift, Trump will not forget Mark Zuckerberg, the social media founder who once kicked him off Meta and Instagram, after he becomes president of the United States. Trump's new book 'Save America' warns Zuckerberg to prepare for a life behind bars, and shortly after, Trump's Meta and Instagram accounts were restored. Zuckerberg is making efforts to mend ties with Trump, and now even the content review policy has shifted to the right; Zuckerberg stated that Meta has made too many mistakes and must scrap the fact-checking project. Meta will reference X's Community Notes mechanism for content review, however, X is currently under investigation by the EU due to the lack of transparency and fairness in Community Notes, which may spread inappropriate content related to terrorist attacks.

Conservatives in power reduce restrictions on discussions about immigration and gender identity.

Meta cancels the U.S. fact-checking project, which will reduce the restrictions on community discussions about immigration and gender identity. This new policy effectively aligns with conservatives, allowing extreme rhetoric criticizing homosexuality, illegal immigration, and abortion to be protected by the U.S. Constitution under the name of free speech, enabling conservatives and right-wing individuals to publicly criticize minority groups. The disbanding and restructuring of the fact-checking team marks a significant change in Meta's political content review mechanism, which will impact Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, three social media platforms with over 3 billion users globally.

Meta flatters and promotes Trump friends and conservatives into core management.

Meta is considering allowing Republican Policy Executive Joel Kaplan to take over as head of global affairs, as Kaplan has been accused by Facebook whistleblowers of often favoring content review to please the Republicans. Meta has also selected new board members to join the board, including UFC CEO and Trump’s close friend Dana White.

Zuckerberg stated that Meta will stop scanning for hate speech or other types of violations and will only review such posts based on user reports. Meta will focus automated scanning on 'highly severe illegal activities' such as terrorism, child exploitation, drug trafficking, and fraud. The team responsible for content policy and review will move from California to Texas and other regions of the United States.

Musk posts in support of 'free speech'.

Zuckerberg wants to abolish the fact-checking team, Musk immediately cheers and says, 'This is Cool!'

Zuckerberg plans to implement a community annotation notes system similar to that used on Musk's X to review inappropriate content. The scrapping of the fact-checking project will only be adjusted and implemented for the U.S. market and will not be applied in the EU or other countries.

Musk's X community annotation notes are under investigation by the EU.

Musk's X community annotation notes are not recognized by the EU and are currently under investigation by the European Commission, which has formally initiated legal proceedings to assess whether X has conducted risk management or violated provisions of the Digital Services Act regarding 'opacity' and 'dark mode.' The Commission has decided to launch a legal investigation against X regarding the spread of illegal infringing content during Hamas's terrorist attacks against Israel.

The EU’s Digital Services Act, effective in 2023, requires platforms like X and Meta to combat illegal and harmful content. Any violating company will be fined 6% of its global revenue. Meta stated that it will begin gradually introducing community annotation notes in the U.S. over the coming months and will implement improvements within a year.

The European Commission has noted Meta's recent statements and will continue to monitor the company's compliance in the EU.
