IMHO. they have merely renamed their Fact-Checkers to Community Notes.

Good point. Community notes is what Elon has implemented on X.

I heard Zuck talk about how this will work. Gone are the fact checkers that are over the top liberals. According to Zuck, there will be a panel made of different political bends that will vote whether or not the community notes are true or false and action will be taken if they are true. The devil are in the details. I'm skeptical.

A couple of other points:

1. Zuckerberg will be doing the picking
2. They will still be anonymous

If nothing else, Zuck has told that world that fact checkers like Politifact are liberal and not to be trusted.

Zuckerberg Sanity Tour Continues: Meta Removes Tampons from Men’s Restrooms



Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has implemented significant changes to its internal and external policies following the recent election, including the removal of tampons from men’s bathrooms.

Fox Business reports that in a sweeping overhaul of its policies, Meta, formerly known as Facebook, has announced a series of changes that mark a significant shift in the company’s stance on various issues. The move comes as CEO Mark Zuckerberg seemingly seeks to align the company with the priorities of the new Trump administration — or wants to create the appearance of doing so.



One notable change implemented by Meta is the removal of tampons from men’s bathrooms across its offices in Silicon Valley, Texas, and New York. The company had previously provided these products for nonbinary and transgender employees who use the men’s room but require sanitary pads because they are women. As part of the recent shakeup, facilities managers were instructed to remove the tampons, sparking discontent among some LGBT employees. The New York Times reported that at least one employee announced their resignation, while others expressed their intention to seek new employment opportunities.

In addition to the changes in bathroom policies, Meta has also ended its biased left-wing “fact checking” program and lifted restrictions on speech across its platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. Zuckerberg admitted that the company’s content moderation practices had “gone too far” and pledged to “restore free expression” on Meta’s platforms. This move has been seen as a response to the changing political landscape and an effort to align with the Trump administration’s stance on free speech.

Furthermore, Meta has announced the termination of its major diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. Joel Kaplan, Meta’s chief global affairs officer, told Fox News Digital that this decision will ensure the company is “building teams with the most talented people” and that hiring decisions will no longer be based on protected characteristics like race or gender. Instead, the company will evaluate individuals and source candidates from a range of pools.

Meta’s policy overhaul follows a trend among other major companies as they shift away from DEI and related ideologies in the wake of the recent election. The changes have been met with mixed reactions, with some employees expressing discontent and others viewing the move as a necessary adjustment to align with the new political climate.

Zuck has not had a change of heart. The new policy is so the incoming Trump administration can be attacked on the platform without fact checkers being caught in the middle.

I heard Zuck talking about countries in Europe fining Facebook billions of dollars. He said it amounts to a tariff. That word caught my attention. Then he said we need someone in government to fight back. That could be why he's making these changes.

He knows, just like everyone else, that if you say nice things about trumpy and snivel up to him, he is more likely to help.
Trumpy's a one dimensional moron.

Is that right? Democrats must be the stupidest folks on the planet because they are doing just the opposite and if they would talk nice, they'd get everything they want from Trump.

The only thing that Trump wants from Gavin NewSCUM is for him to resign. As for NewSCUM himself, he is not smiling much lately. He is starting to realize that he is about to get fired. We just need to see if it will be by recall, blow torch or flame thrower. On a resent non-scientific poll by Eye Witness News showed 78% of responders want both NewSCUM and LA Mayor Bass gone.

I can relate to that because you've given me loads of fun watching you throw adolescent tantrums over Trump.
