Mark Zuckerberg’s knee injury kicked off Meta’s censorship overhaul, report says

Mark Zuckerberg announced the end of Meta’s partnerships with third-party fact-checkers this week. Instead, the company—with Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp under its umbrella of products and services—will implement a “Community Notes” style system, like the one used by Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to provide context to “potentially” misleading posts.

The trigger behind the unexpected decision has now been revealed in a new report.
