In Another Bow To Donald Trump, Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg Says It Will End Fact Checking On Facebook And Instagram

Accountable Tech, a public interest group that has pushed for tech giants to take greater steps to police content on its platforms, condemned Zuckerberg’s announcement. Its executive director Nicole Gill called it “preemptive capitulation.” “It would be cringey if it weren’t so calculated,” she said. “Extremism is foundational to Meta’s business model, which depends on engagement to drive business revenue.”
