Meta announces the easing of speech censorship mechanisms, Trump expresses support, Zuckerberg said in a video released with a press release on January 7: "We have reached a point of too many mistakes and too much censorship. It is time to return to our original intent, which is freedom of speech." He candidly stated that recent elections in the U.S. are a significant driving force behind this decision, "This feels like a cultural turning point, re-prioritizing freedom of speech." Meta will no longer proactively scan for hate speech and other violations, and will only review content after user reports. Its automated systems will focus on removing "high-risk violations" such as terrorism, child exploitation, fraud, and drugs.
