Two salient facts about Facebook replacing its fact-checking program with community notes:
(1) community notes are cheaper.
(2) the incoming political regime dislikes fact-checking. So community notes are less trouble.
The rest is just framing. Zuck's sole principle is to do what's best for Zuck.

Zuckerberg says Meta plans to eliminate its fact-checking program, move content moderators to Texas to address claims of bias, raise the bar for enforcing its terms and lift certain “restrictions” on immigration and gender talk.
Huge shift in platform policy.

Zuck is citing an explicitly political justification to require large numbers of workers to relocate to a state where abortion and youth gender affirming care are illegal. That’s quite a statement on who belongs on your trust and safety team.

So the top priority of the new congress is to bully maybe like 20 specific children... cool.
Rep Mike Johnson has released a drafted rules package, which includes their priority legislation.
The United States House of Representatives NUMBER ONE PRIORITY is to ban trans people from sports!
Our fight is officially starting in Congress and this is just the beginning.

Tennessee's age-verification law has been blocked from going into effect. The court granted our motion for preliminary injunction.
Thanks to our incredible legal team for working overtime on this, and to our members who make it possible.
Happy New Year!

I see a lot of people talk about the environmental costs of AI. I don't see as much about the human exploitation behind it.

So glad to see Fox News and LibsofTikTok condemning violence against healthcare CEOs. As we all know, the only acceptable calls for violence are against random gay teachers and trans people.
