Today we have announced an important change in the ideological censorship policies that Facebook has been applying for years.<\/p>\n
In a video posted on his Facebook profile, Mark Zuckerberg announced today<\/a> that he will protect freedom of expression and end the fact-checking program<\/strong>, which has been receiving widespread criticism for its ideological bias against conservatives.<\/p>\n In addition, Zuckerberg has announced that he will implement a Twitter-like community notes system<\/strong> on Meta's social networks (Facebook, Instagram and Threads), a tool that has proven to be much more reliable and effective in combating hoaxes.<\/p>\n This announcement, made just days before Donald Trump's inauguration as US president, demonstrates a change of trend in the wave of attacks on freedom of expression from large technology companies<\/strong>, most of which are ideologically aligned with the left, with the major exception of Twitter since the arrival of Elon Musk.<\/p>\n However, Zuckerberg's announcement leaves some questions<\/strong>. One of them concerns the content that his social networks have been arbitrarily removing. Will Mark Zuckerberg restore the content that Facebook abusively censored?<\/strong> Facebook and Instagram have been applying abusive and ideologically motivated censorship for years. This censorship has been particularly harsh on conservative users<\/strong>, even though they did not violate the community standards of that social network. Often, this censorship has been imposed without any kind of explanation<\/strong> by Meta's social networks.<\/p>\n
