Meta removes so-called fact checking from their platform because it was proven to be politically biased and abused to erode trust and silence dissenting opinions.
Meta will democratize fact checking by using a "community notes" style feature, and all of their DNC think tank fact checkers are now out of a job.
Sorry, fake checkers. It's tent life for you now.

Meta axes third-party fact-checkers in time for second Trump term
Zuckerberg says Meta will "work with President Trump" to fight censorship.

Instagram announced the changes in a blog post and a video message recorded by CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

"Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more. A lot of this is clearly political," Zuckerberg said. He said the recent elections "feel like a cultural tipping point toward once again prioritizing speech."

"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with Community Notes, similar to X, starting in the US," Zuckerberg said. "After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote nonstop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. We tried in good faith to address those concerns without becoming the arbiters of truth. But the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the US."

Meta says the soon-to-be-discontinued fact-checking program includes over 90 third-party organizations that evaluate posts in over 60 languages. The US-based fact-checkers are AFP USA, Check Your Fact, Factcheck.org, Lead Stories, PolitiFact, Science Feedback, Reuters Fact Check, TelevisaUnivision, The Dispatch, and USA Today.
