Mark Zuckerberg to Restore 'Freedom of Speech' on Facebook and Instagram

The CEO of META, Mark Zuckerberg, has promised to restore 'freedom of speech' on the Facebook and Instagram social media platforms.

"We will return to our roots, focus on minimizing mistakes, ease the rules for publishing content, and restore the freedom of expression on our platforms," Zuckerberg stated.

He added that the existing fact-checking procedures will change first, starting in the U.S. "Even if just 1% of posts are censored, it affects millions of users. Everything has led to an excess of mistakes and censorship," the META director said.

Zuckerberg also noted that the recent presidential election in the U.S. has become a 'cultural divide' and criticized the restrictions that have been in place on his platforms so far.
