Facebook owner Meta is ending its third party fact checking programme in the US and replacing it with a "Community Notes" system similar to that on Elon Musk-owned microblogging website X.

"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X (formerly Twitter), starting in the US," Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post on social media.

Zuckerberg said that "fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the US."

The decision includes dismantling the existing fact-checking system on all Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Threads, and introducing a new community-driven approach similar to the one used by Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter.

US President-elect Donald Trump appeared pleased with the move, saying "They have come a long way- Meta. The man (Zukerberg) was very impressive." When asked if he believed it was a response to his threats against Zuckerberg, he said, "Probably, yeah" as per the reports.

Elon Musk, a long-time advocate for free expression, also welcomed the announcement. Reacting to the news on X, Musk simply wrote, "This is cool."

The Republican Party and Musk have complained about Meta's fact-checking policies in the past, deeming them censorship.

In a video message, Zuckerberg explained that Meta's decision to eliminate fact-checkers stemmed from concerns over political bias. "Fact-checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created," he said.

Instead, Meta plans to implement a "community notes" system, mirroring the model used by X, where users collaboratively provide context and clarifications to potentially contentious posts.

To further address concerns about bias, Zuckerberg announced that Meta's content moderation teams will relocate from California to Texas "where there is less concern about the bias of our teams".

However, he emphasised that the change is a step toward restoring trust and promoting open discourse on the platform.

The social media giant also announced plans to promote "more speech" by easing certain restrictions on topics that are part of mainstream discussions. This shift aimsjl999 gaming, the company said, to priorities addressing illegal activities and "high severity violations" such as terrorism, child sexual exploitation, and drug-related offences.
