Meta Shifts to Community Notes, Ends US Fact-Checking for Facebook, Instagram, and Threads
Meta has officially ended its fact-checking program in the United States as of April 7, 2025, transitioning to a Community Notes system for content verification. This shift affects all posts and media on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, intending to promote free speech. Critics argue that this change could lead to an increase in misinformation, echoing concerns raised during Meta's previous announcements. The company received backlash for its decision, with many users reportedly seeking to delete their accounts. This move aligns Meta with similar strategies employed by other platforms like X.
