Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that Meta would roll back on fact-checking, which has led to an outpouring of false claims on Threads.

Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg announced sweeping changes to his company’s social media platforms, including getting rid of fact checkers and major changes to its “Hateful Conduct” policies. Republican strategist Scott Jennings praised the move and says the fact checkers were just “partisan sledgehammers.

Meta, the parent of Facebook, said it will eliminate traditional fact-checking and will rely instead on community notes. The move was part of a pivot to a new emphasis on free speech. Meta will also allow more politics to enter users' feeds.
