Ankündigung des Meta-Geschäftsführers Mark Zuckerberg, 7.1.2025 (engl. Original)
The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech. So we’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms.
More specifically, here’s what we’re going to do:
First, we’re going to get rid of fact checkers and replace them with community notes, similar to X, starting in the U.S. After Trump first got elected in 2016, the legacy media wrote nonstop about how misinformation was a threat to democracy. We tried in good faith to address those concerns […]. But the fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created, especially in the U.S. […]
Second, we’re going to […] get rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourse. What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas – and it’s gone too far. […]
Fourth, we’re bringing back civic content. For a while the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed. […] But it feels like we’re in a new era now, and we’re starting to get feedback that people want to see this content again. […]
Fifth, we’re going to move our trust and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and our U.S.-based content review is going to be based in Texas. As we work to promote free expression, I think that it will help us build trust to do this work in places where there is less concern about the bias of our teams.
Finally, we’re going to work with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more. […] Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws institutionalizing censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovative there. Latin American countries have secret courts that can order companies to quietly take things down. […] The only way that we can push back on this global trend is with the support of the U.S. government.
And that’s why it’s been so difficult over the past four years – when even the U.S. government has pushed for censorship by going after us and other American companies. […] But now we have the opportunity to restore free expression and I am excited to take it. […]
Stay good out there. And more to come soon.
