Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Tuesday said the social media company is putting an end to its fact-check program and replacing it with a community-driven system akin to that of Elon Musk's X.
Elon Musk praised Meta Platforms CEO Mark Zuckerberg's move to end fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram, following Musk's lead after he implemented community notes on X.

Meta announces three new members to its board of directors, including UFC CEO Dana White, who had wanted Mark Zuckerberg to fight Elon Musk for charity.
Meta announced its new policy, stating that getting varied voices on the platform brings out the good, the bad, and the ugly in free speech; nonetheless, the restrictions on topics hitherto banned are now being lifted, “allowing more speech.”
