Google Isn’t the Only Tech Platform That Won’t Moderate
In 2025, it seems that ditching fact-checkers and moderation is a trend for tech giants.
Most recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally announced a Meta policy change that will see an end to fact-checks and a reduction in moderation across platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
But the original source for the current trend might be the years-old Twitter takeover by controversial billionaire Elon Musk, who has presided over a Community Notes program that Meta, and now Google, will be cribbing from.
Whatever the case, tech giants appear to be adapting a “not our problem” approach to the content on their world-reshaping platforms.
