Following the lead of Elon Musk? Zuckerberg's shift on social media moderation

  • Summary

  • In a move that has raised eyebrows across the tech world, Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, announced a major overhaul of content moderation policies for Facebook and Instagram. In a video published Tuesday, Zuckerberg committed to simplifying his company’s approach, vowing to restore free expression on both platforms. The changes he outlined — including eliminating fact-checkers, shifting moderation teams from California to Texas, and adopting community-driven content reviews similar to “X” (formerly Twitter) — reflect a clear shift in direction, one that mirrors Elon Musk’s transformation of Twitter after his acquisition. It’s a fast-paced change in the tech industry, and it signals a reassertion of free speech on some of the world’s largest social media platforms.
