Zuckerberg Announces Return to Free Speech on Facebook: “Too Many Mistakes and Too Much Censorship”

"We're going to get rid of fact-checkers and replace them with community notes similar to X..."

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a major revamp of the company’s content moderation policies, acknowledging that the current system has led to “too many mistakes and too much censorship.”

In a video shared on Facebook, Zuckerberg announced major changes to the company’s content moderation strategy, aiming to restore free speech on the heavily moderated platform by replacing “Fact-Checkers” with X (formerly Twitter)-style “Community Notes.”

The move is being framed as a positive change, particularly for those on the right, along with conservative Christian communities, who have long expressed concerns about censorship of their political and religious views.

The new approach seeks to simplify content policies, reduce moderation errors, and shift towards a more user-driven model of accountability. Zuckerberg acknowledged the frustration many have felt over recent years, particularly among those who believe their perspectives were unfairly silenced.

Key changes include:

  1. Replacing Fact-Checkers with Community Notes: Meta will phase out its U.S.-based fact-checking program, replacing it with a community-driven notes system, similar to the one implemented on X (formerly Twitter). This aims to reduce political bias in content labelling and build trust among users.
  2. Simplifying Content Policies: The company plans to eliminate restrictions on certain topics, including immigration and gender, that have been criticized for disproportionately impacting conservative viewpoints. This shift will allow for greater diversity of opinions and protect the expression of religious beliefs.
  3. Reducing Automated Content Filters: Automated systems will no longer aggressively flag lower-severity violations. Instead, the focus will be on high-severity issues, such as illegal content, with less severe cases relying on user reports. This change is expected to significantly reduce accidental censorship.
  4. Reintroducing Civic Content: Meta will bring back recommendations for political and civic discussions, which had previously been deprioritized. This change aims to encourage open dialogue on important societal issues.
  5. Relocating Moderation Teams: To address concerns about bias, Meta’s U.S.-based content moderation teams will move from California to Texas, reflecting a commitment to more regionally diverse perspectives in decision-making.
  6. Advocating for Free Speech Globally: Meta plans to collaborate with U.S. policymakers to push back against global censorship trends. This includes resisting regulations in regions with stricter controls on speech, such as Europe and Latin America.

Zuckerberg acknowledged the complexities of the transition, emphasizing the need to balance safety with freedom of expression. “It’s time to reduce mistakes, simplify systems, and get back to our roots of giving people a voice,” he stated.
