Meta to End Fact-Checking Program on Facebook Ahead of Trump Term: Live Updates
The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact-checkers on Facebook, Threads and Instagram and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his allies.

So, even more lies, bollocks and conspiracy theories will flood it. It'll turn into the firehose of shite that Twitter (know known as X) has become.
And the gullible muppets will soak it all up because there will be nobody to stop it.
European (and I'm including us here in UK) governments need to get off of their fat arses and bin FB and it's brethren.
And fund Ukraine whilst they are at it. We need to distance ourselves from USA as it's turned into a bigoted, fascist shithole.
Edited for spelling.
