AI summary of the linked article

Meta announced in January 2025 that it is loosening content enforcement and ending its US third-party fact-checking program in favor of Community Notes, a system modeled on X where contributing users write and rate notes. The company said it had over-enforced its rules, with one to two out of every 10 content removals in December 2024 possibly mistaken, and it plans to restrict automated enforcement to illegal and high-severity violations. A May 29, 2025 update said enforcement mistakes in the US fell roughly 50% from Q4 2024 to Q1 2025, while low prevalence of violating content stayed largely unchanged.

Kinda interesting that he straight up admitted that they censored thousands of people lol

I imagine he personally didn't like it either but the political pressure must have been intense.

Really curious to watch the next year once the Overton window opened.

Does this mean I get my Instagram account back? lol

Remarkable is that the blog post takes a more neutral tone and doesn't include the critical comments about specific regions or governments that Zuck makes in the video. In the video he makes a critical statement about Europe, specifically mentioning that “Europe has an ever-increasing number of laws that institutionalize censorship” and make it “difficult to build anything innovative there”. This is mentioned in the context of his discussion about pushing back against global government censorship, where he contrasts different regions' approaches to content regulation.

So guess Europeans are the bad guys now ;) (But he doesn’t want to put that in writing)

I readily accept that we're the bad guys now. Actually, if I had to classify European stupidity to e.g. Chinese stupidity, then Europeans are classically stupid, they cause harm to themselves and to others, whereas Chinese are bandit-stupid, they cause losses to others, but at least they benefit themselves.

No but, I mean, the "hey Europe is shit" thing is just another one of these... *looks at notes* shibboleths to pledge allegiance to those currently in power.
You can only truly be part of the California-uber-alles clique if you say that Europe sucks, publicly. As Farcaster users we know this culture well

Hey that’s weird, Mark Zuckerberg apparently died in 2020. 🤔 https://theshovel.com.au/2020/05/28/mark-zuckerberg-dead-at-36-says-social-media-fact-check/
