Meta ends fact-checking, eases speech restrictions, aligns with Trump administration.

Meta is ending its fact-checking programme and lifting restrictions on speech across Facebook and Instagram, according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

In a video statement, Zuckerberg indicated this change aims to restore free expression on Meta’s platforms.

He announced the removal of fact-checkers, opting instead for a Community Notes system, where users can flag posts needing additional context, similar to the system used on X, formerly Twitter.

While illegal behaviour will still be targeted, Zuckerberg mentioned that Meta would cease enforcing content rules related to immigration and gender that do not reflect mainstream views.

This shift is expected to alter the experience of billions of users on Meta’s platforms, moving away from previous attempts to manage abusive content. Such efforts had faced criticism, particularly from the political right, who accused Meta of censorship.

Zuckerberg’s decision comes as he seeks to build a better relationship with the new Trump administration, following a history of tension.

In recent months, Zuckerberg has expressed disagreement with claims that Meta censored content during the 2021 pandemic and has reached out to Republican leaders to reaffirm this stance.

Additionally, Zuckerberg has made efforts to connect with Trump, including a recent meeting at Mar-a-Lago and a donation from Meta to Trump’s inaugural fund.

The appointment of Joel Kaplan as global policy chief is seen as a further indication of Meta’s commitment to strengthening ties with conservative politics.

U.S. Federal Reserve revises economic forecasts downward, expecting growth slowdown and higher unemployment, but still plans rate cuts in 2024 and 2025.


At its latest meeting, the U.S. Federal Reserve revised its economic forecasts downward, with growth trimmed, inflation nudged up, and unemployment expectations now higher.

Despite this gloomier outlook, the Fed still sees two rate cuts in 2025, but just one in 2024 and one in 2026, a major dial-back from earlier projections.
