Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Tuesday that the company plans to end its fact-checking program as part of a broader overhaul of how it moderates content on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. In a video, Zuckerberg said the move was an effort to prioritize "free expression" and called the 2024 election a "cultural tipping point." It was a notable policy shift ahead of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration in a little more than week. Jason Koebler, co-founder of the tech website 404 Media, breaks down why the tech elites are sucking up to Trump. And in headlines: U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the Justice Department from releasing Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on his investigations into Trump, Trump doesn't rule out using military force to acquire Greenland and the Panama Canal, and the conservative North Carolina Supreme Court blocked certifying the election results of one of its Democratic colleagues.

Foreign It's Wednesday, January 8th. I'm Jane Coston and this is what a day. The show where I'm asking Mark Zuckerberg, hey, how exactly do Trump's foods taste? On today's show, Trump gives his first presser of the new year. And of course he had a lot to say. And two murderers on death row tell President Biden to keep keep his commutation. Let's get into it. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg says that the company is changing the way it moderates content on its platforms, Facebook, Instagram and threads. In a video he posted Tuesday, Zuckerberg said the company is going to prioritize, quote, free expression by dismantling the fact checking program. It started to curb misinformation. Zuckerberg pointed to President Elect Trump's win as a reason for the change.
Jason Kebler
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.
Jane Coston
Zuckerberg says that instead of using news organizations and other third party groups to fact check content, Meta will leave it up to users to flag false or misleading information in community notes, just like the policy Trump's first buddy, Elon Musk, implemented over at Twitter. Holocaust denial. Just a new opportunity for fun conversations on the Internet. Zuckerberg even admitted that more problematic content will now appear on Meta's platforms.
Jason Kebler
The reality is that this is a trade off. It means we're going to catch less bad stuff, but we'll also reduce the number of innocent people's posts and accounts that we accidentally take down.
Jane Coston
What could go wrong? Zuckerberg's announcement comes one day after Meta taps Trump ally and Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White to join its board of directors. And during a rambling, some might say unhinged press conference that we'll tell you more about later in the show, Trump said that he watched Zuckerberg's video and took credit for his decisions.
Donald Trump
I think they've come a long way. Meta, Facebook, I think they've come a long way. I watched it. The man was very impressive. I watched it. Actually, I watched it on Fox. I'm not allowed to say that. Say it.
Jason Kebler
Do you think he's directly responding to the threats that you have made to.
Jane Coston
Him in the past?
Donald Trump
Probably.
Jane Coston
If it seems like a lot of the tech sphere has done an about face on Trump in the last year or so, it's because it has this fact checking program. Meta is dismantling it was started after the 2016 election. You know, back when fake news was a real thing. Macedonian troll farms. And not just stories Trump doesn't like. But how much of what meta and other tech platforms are doing here is bending the knee to Trump versus the time honored tradition of corporate leaders cozying up to the people in power so they can get lawmakers to do what they want. For more on this, I spoke with Jason Kebler. He's the co founder of the tech website 404 Media. We talked about Zuck's move away from content moderation and why the tech elite are sucking up to Trump. Jason, welcome back to Whataday.
Jason Kebler
Hey, thanks for having me.
Jane Coston
So, okay, what is actually happening here? What is actually going to change about content moderation on meta products?
Jason Kebler
Well, a lot of things, seemingly, and yet also maybe not that much because Meta's content moderation had fallen into such disrepair and the enforcement was kind of all over the place. But they are now sort of officially loosening a lot of the rules that they've implemented over the last few years. Most notably, they are going to allow more political speech is what they're saying. But what that means in practice is you'll now be able to say bad things about LGBTQ people and immigrants, and that will be officially within the bounds of what is allowed on meta platforms. Like, quite literally, they've written the rules to allow people to say, for example, that being trans is a mental illness, which has been, you know, repeatedly disproven by science. Right. But that will now specifically be allowed to sort of quote, more align with the real conversations that are happening in the United States, according to Mark Zuckerberg. So that's happening. The fact checking program is ending, which was this situation where meta had contracted with these third party fact checkers who would add sort of like a note to news stories that were wrong. This is going to be replaced with a community notes system very similar to what is on X at this point. And then just sort of like more broadly, there's going to be a lot less enforcement against content across all meta platforms.
Jane Coston
What will the impact be on the moderation teams that deal with violent content uploads or child sexual abuse videos that are uploaded by the thousands every single day? Like there are moderation teams where all they do is take down videos of people murdering cats. I. I'm very serious. That's a thing that they have to deal with and it's really, really hard and terrible work. But what about them?
Jason Kebler
Yeah, so they haven't gotten rid of all rules, notably, you're still not allowed to be a Nazi on meta platforms. Like the rules that prevent glorifying literal Nazism or like posting a swastika still exist, as are rules that Facebook implemented a few years ago about, like, overtly white supremacist or white nationalist content like that. Those rules still exist. It will be interesting for me as a journalist to see whether they continue to take that type of content down or whether people feel emboldened because Mark Zuckerberg has declared meta platforms a free speech zone, for lack of a better term, whether there's, like, a lot more of that type of content being posted. Because when Elon Musk did something very similar with Twitter, he signaled as the, you know, chief overlord of Twitter, that he was going to allow this sort of content. He was going to allow white supremacist content, you know, far right content. And the effect is that Twitter still has some rules that ban some of this stuff, but in practice, they're not enforced really at all. And now, you know, Mark Zuckerberg has signaled that he does not want to take down a lot of content. And I think that will be a signal to people on the far right, like, go post whatever you want on Facebook and see what happens.
Jane Coston
This looks like a pretty obvious quid pro quo for Trump. Zuckerberg shuts down Fact checking. Trump stops threatening Meta. Is it?
Jason Kebler
In my opinion, yes. I mean, I think that it's extremely wild that the New York Times ran an article a few months ago saying specifically that Mark Zuckerberg was leaving politics, like he didn't want to talk about politics anymore. And since then, Zuckerberg has visited Mar A Lago. He has donated a million dollars to Donald Trump's inauguration campaign. He's elevated Joel Kaplan, who worked in the George W. Bush administration, to be sort of head of global policy. And then he has said, we're going to not take a lot of action on political speech. I don't think it's any coincidence that all of those actions are a shift rightward, a shift to be more in line with the Trump administration and what Donald Trump himself specifically wants. Mark Zuckerberg has said that he thinks it was a mistake to ban Donald Trump in the aftermath of January 6th. I think what we're seeing here is really like Zuckerberg kissing the ring.
Jane Coston
Meta was one of the companies that was really cheerleading making changes to Section 230, the Communications Decency Act. And I bring that up because section 230 is the means by which you can't sue a platform because of what somebody else posted on that platform. This has come up again and again with Instagram, with Facebook, probably with Threads, if more people use threads. And part of the argument Meta used was that they were one of the few companies big enough to deal with the lawsuit such changes would bring because they could have so many moderators that would be all over this. What's going to happen there, do you think?
Jason Kebler
Yeah, I mean, I think it really depends on how far down the road of Silicon Valley tech oligarchy this administration actually goes. But I really do think that with something like Section 230, any sort of regulatory regime, any tweaks to Section 230 are likely going to be driven by tech lobbyists. I haven't seen a lot of appetite in Congress to actually reform section 230 in a way that would hold these platforms accountable. And I find it very unlikely that these tech companies are going to face stricter regulatory scrutiny under the Trump administration than they did under the Biden administration, especially with the FTC chair being Lina Khan, who was really, really good on things like antitrust and big tech power.
Jane Coston
I think, speaking of the ftc, the FTC is also suing Meta because it says that it broke antitrust laws when it acquired Instagram and WhatsApp. And the trial is scheduled to start in April. Does all of this change, especially if the FTC is run by somebody Trump picks, even though there are lots of populists who really like Lina Khan? Does all of this change the calculus on that lawsuit on that trial?
Jason Kebler
I think everything is up in the air, to be totally honest with you. I think the TikTok ban is up in the air. I think that the various monopoly lawsuits against Google and Meta are up in the air. There's also one against Amazon. We've seen Silicon Valley really try to cozy up to this administration in a way that we have never seen before. And these are very powerful companies. Trump is very easily influenced and they are all trying to become buddy buddy with him right now. I think it's entirely possible that some of these lawsuits are totally dropped, but it's hard to make a prediction because I think that I don't know what Trump administration 2.0 is going to look like, regulations wise, given that during the first administration, a lot of these tech companies were almost part of resistance to Trump. Whereas now all bets are off.
Jane Coston
Jason, as always, thank you so much for joining me.

And now the news head of lines.
Donald Trump
They'Re not allowed to issue the report. So if they're not allowed to issue the report, that's the way it should be.
Jane Coston
U.S. district Judge Eilen Cannon temporarily blocked the Justice Department from releasing Special Counsel Jack Smith's report on investigations into Donald Trump. Cannon, who oversaw the classified documents case against the president elect, made the decision after two of Trump's co defendants in the case asked her to stop the report's release. Who knew she had the power to do this? Hmm. The Tuesday ruling means Smith's final report will be blocked from the public until an appeals court reviews the motion. Trump's co defendants claim Smith doesn't have the authority to release the report since Cannon previously ruled Smith's special counsel appointment was unlawful. Trump reacted to the news at the aforementioned Mar A Lago press conference.
Donald Trump
Why should he be allowed to write a fake report? It'll only be a fake report. That's great news. Good.
Jane Coston
The fake report is expected to include decisions made by Smith in both Trump's classified documents case and Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump's appeal to postpone his hush money sentencing was denied and it's scheduled for Friday.

Election that's crooked's own Leah Littman, host of Strict Scrutiny, talking about the North Carolina Supreme Court's decision Tuesday to block election result certification for one of its own justices. The losing candidate, a Republican, challenged the election results and has asked that 60,000 ballots not be counted because voters did not provide their driver's license numbers or the last four digits of their Social Security numbers. The November race was close. The Democratic justice won re election by just 734 votes. Unless a federal appeals court intervenes, the Republican led North Carolina Supreme Court will basically get to decide for itself who wins the seat. The drama over Trump's countless batshit cabinet picks is about to level up. Over the next few weeks, the Senate will hold confirmation hearings for RFK Junior Pete Hegseth, Dr. Oz and more. But at least one of those hearings has already been delayed. On Tuesday, Senate Democrats pushed back Tulsi Gabbard's confirmation for National Intelligence director, which was supposed to start next week. They say she hasn't given them the necessary vetting materials, including her FBI background check and ethics disclosure. Gabbard, a former U.S. representative from Hawaii who ran for president as a Democrat in 2020 before leaving the party because of the woke mind virus or something, has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill trying to gather support among senators. Here she is on Tuesday speaking to reporters after a meeting with Alabama Republican Tommy Tuberville.

Jane Coston
One of those Democrats, Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, met with Gabbard this week. Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, did not seem impressed. He said, quote, I had questions going in. I have questions going out, so do we all. Two inmates on death row whose sentences were commuted by President Biden are trying to reject their clemency. Biden reclassified the sentences of 37 federal inmates in December from execution to life in prison without parole. But two inmates at the US Penitentiary in Indiana, Shannon Ogofsky and Len Davis, won't sign the clemency paperwork. Both claim clemency will mess up their chances in appealing their cases as they try to prove their innocence. Indiana's Southern District federal court says the pair filed emergency motions to block the commutations Dec. 30. Yet, according to a 1927 Supreme Court ruling, a president can commute a death sentence without the inmate's consent. The executive director of the Death Penalty Information center backed this up, saying the president's power to commute their death sentences is grounded in his constitutional authority and is absolute. Davis and Agufsky were sentenced to death for murder. Ogufsky wrote in his filing he, quote, merely wishes for his case to play out in court as it was meant to. And that's the news. One more thing. Do you remember the 2024 presidential election? You know, the one in November of last year? Sure you do. It was a big deal. I talked about it a lot, and a lot of people said it hinged on one specific issue. Here's Fox News.

Jane Coston
So, yeah, many people argued that Donald Trump won the presidential election because everyday people were feeling very real economic pressures, including the price of goods like bread, milk and eggs. So what is Donald Trump going to do about it? Apparently invade Panama and Greenland, as he told reporters during his Mar a Lago press conference. And when a reporter asked if he was going to use military or economic coercion to get his way, well, he.
Donald Trump
Didn'T say no, I can say this. We need them for economic security. The Panama Canal was built for our military. I'm not going to commit to that now. It might be that. You'll have to do something.
Jane Coston
Sure. Economic security, yes, the Panama Canal is very important to trade, and Greenland has lots of natural resources. But seriously, did anyone, anyone at all vote for Trump because he was going to seize the Panama Canal. Like, think about it for a second. He thinks, or at least wants us to think that. He thinks that sending troops, American soldiers to invade Panama and Greenland is a good idea. Spending billions of dollars to do stuff that literally not one person who isn't a member of the Trump family thinks is a good idea. And yes, for history, pendants. I know that annexing Greenland has come up before, but let's be serious here. You're not Fox News. Let's do Manifest Destiny again for reasons. Might be fun for some people, but what does any of this have to do with the price of eggs? Remember that? Remember how that was like a really big deal? Remember the kitchen table issues Americans care about? Yeah. Neither does Trump. As I've said on this show previously, I have a general rule with Trump, which is the we'll be looking at that very closely rule. Remember how during his first term, some journalist would ask him the most bananas thing you'd ever heard? He'd say, we'll be looking at that very closely and the entire press corps would chase it for a week. Yeah, we're not doing that on this show. Annexing Greenland and the Panama Canal are most likely not going to happen because all of the people who would need to support it for it to happen all think it's stupid. Like the president of Panama. You know where the Panama Canal is. But I just keep thinking, what is this doing to lower the price of eggs, bread, milk, other consumer goods, rent, the cost of a home? What does any of this Panama, Greenland, his long and boring rant about the 1980 presidential election have to do with you, the American voter? If Democrats miss the boat on voter concerns, then pardon my French, what the fuck is this?

What a Day: Meta’s MAGA Moment – Detailed Summary
Episode Released: January 8, 2025
Host: Jane Coaston
Guest: Jason Kebler, Co-founder of 404 Media
In this episode of What a Day, host Jane Coaston delves into the recent strategic shifts at Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook), exploring CEO Mark Zuckerberg's controversial changes to content moderation. The discussion is enriched by insights from Jason Kebler, co-founder of the tech website 404 Media, who provides an in-depth analysis of Meta's alignment with former President Donald Trump and the broader implications for free speech and corporate governance.
Mark Zuckerberg’s Announcement (00:00 – 01:29)
Mark Zuckerberg issued a significant policy shift regarding content moderation across Meta's platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. In a video posted on Tuesday, Zuckerberg announced the dismantling of Meta’s fact-checking program, which was initially established to combat misinformation. He emphasized a renewed focus on "free expression," citing President Trump's electoral victory as a catalyst for this change.
Zuckerberg (00:49): “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.”
Instead of relying on third-party fact-checkers, Meta will transition to a community-driven content flagging system, similar to Twitter's approach under Elon Musk. Zuckerberg acknowledged that this move would result in the increased presence of problematic content but argued it was a necessary trade-off to enhance free speech.
Implications for Content Moderation (03:05 – 06:30)
Jason Kebler elaborates on the practical changes, noting that while Meta is easing restrictions on political speech, this leniency extends to harmful statements against marginalized groups. For instance, content denying the Holocaust or labeling being transgender as a mental illness will now fall within the acceptable range of discourse on Meta platforms.
Kebler (04:42): “What could go wrong? … A lot more of that type of content being posted.”
Kebler draws parallels to Elon Musk's tenure at Twitter, predicting that Meta’s relaxed stance may embolden far-right groups to post more extremist content, despite some remaining prohibitions against overtly Nazi or white supremacist material.
Trump’s Response to Meta’s Changes (01:40 – 02:15)
During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump reacted positively to Zuckerberg’s video, insinuating influence over Meta’s policies.
Trump (01:59): “I think they've come a long way. Meta, Facebook, I think they've come a long way. I watched it. The man was very impressive.”
Analysis with Jason Kebler (02:56 – 10:31)
Kebler discusses the possible motivations behind Meta’s policy shift, suggesting a strategic alignment with Trump to curry favor with his administration. He highlights Zuckerberg’s increased engagement with Trump-affiliated individuals and political donations as indicators of a broader corporate strategy to mitigate regulatory pressures.
Kebler (06:30): “This looks like a pretty obvious quid pro quo for Trump. Zuckerberg shuts down Fact checking. Trump stops threatening Meta. Is it? In my opinion, yes.”
Kebler posits that Meta’s retreat from rigorous content moderation mirrors a rightward shift aimed at appeasing Trump’s base, potentially sacrificing the platform's role in curbing harmful misinformation and hate speech.
Effects on Moderation Practices (04:42 – 06:30)
Jane Coaston raises concerns about the well-being of Meta’s content moderation teams, who handle distressing material daily. Kebler responds by clarifying that while certain hate speech policies remain, the overall reduction in enforcement may lead to an increase in offensive content.
Section 230 and Regulatory Scrutiny (07:42 – 09:05)
The conversation shifts to the future of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields tech platforms from liability over user-generated content. Kebler expresses skepticism about meaningful reforms under the Trump administration, suggesting that tech companies will continue to lobby effectively to preserve their operational autonomy.
Kebler (08:14): “I really do think that with something like Section 230, any sort of regulatory regime, any tweaks to Section 230 are likely going to be driven by tech lobbyists.”
He also touches on the ongoing antitrust lawsuit by the FTC against Meta for its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, indicating that the outcome may remain uncertain pending the nature of the new administration's regulatory approach.
Judge Blocks DOJ’s Report on Trump (12:35 – 13:31)
The episode covers a legal development where U.S. District Judge Eileen Cannon temporarily blocks the release of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on investigations into Donald Trump. Trump criticized the report as "fake," aligning with his ongoing narrative against the investigation.
North Carolina Supreme Court Election Dispute (13:31 – 14:04)
Leah Littman from Strict Scrutiny discusses the North Carolina Supreme Court's decision to halt the certification of election results for one of its justices. The Republican challenger contested the election due to procedural issues with ballot verification, leading to a close and contentious race.
Biden’s Clemency Commution Controversy (14:04 – 15:38)
The show highlights President Biden’s decision to commute the sentences of two inmates on death row, who have refused to accept clemency, arguing it affects their legal appeals. Legal experts assert that presidential commutation powers are absolute, regardless of the inmates' consent.
Presidential Election Reflections (15:38 – 17:48)
Jane reflects on the 2024 presidential election, emphasizing economic concerns as the pivotal issue influencing voters. She contrasts media narratives from Fox News and MSNBC regarding the economy, underscoring the disconnect between political strategies and voters' immediate financial concerns.
Trump’s Foreign Policy Rhetoric (17:48 – 18:27)
Trump suggested potential aggressive actions towards Panama and Greenland to address economic security, a stance Jane criticizes as disconnected from voters' real concerns like rising prices and cost of living.
Jane Coaston (18:13): “Remember the price of eggs? What does any of this Panama, Greenland... have to do with you, the American voter?”
Jane Coaston's episode on What a Day provides a comprehensive examination of Meta’s significant policy shifts under Zuckerberg, potential corporate alignments with Trump, and the broader implications for free speech and content moderation. Through her discussion with Jason Kebler, listeners gain insight into the complex interplay between tech giants and political power, set against the backdrop of ongoing legal and electoral developments.
This comprehensive summary encapsulates the key discussions, insights, and conclusions from the episode, providing a clear and engaging overview for those who haven't listened to What a Day.
