Mark Zuckerberg is taking Meta back to its roots – and the world backwards

Facebook, Instagram and Threads will abandon fact-checking operations and most restrictions on offensive speech and adopt the community-based model at X (formerly Twitter), Mr Elon Musk’s rival platform. ....Mr Zuckerberg claimed that the approach, which relies on users voting to label problematic content as it continues circulating, better protects free speech.

critics claimed that fake news circulating on Facebook contributed to Donald Trump’s first election win in 2016.

Shortly after scrapping content moderation, Mr Zuckerberg announced that Meta would cease its hiring practices that promote diversity, equity and inclusion 

Still, Singapore laws like the Online Safety Act and the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act, which impose obligations on foreign social media with Singapore users, would appear to be among those that Mr Zuckerberg wants to avoid. Trump could attempt to make enforcing such laws against US companies a bargaining chip in negotiations.
