More Speech and Fewer Mistakes (Joel Kaplan)
Withdrawn: Duplicate of exhibit 1146 (meta-2025-more-speech-fewer-mistakes); same document.
Announces that Meta will end its third-party fact-checking program in the United States and move to Community Notes. Says the program launched in 2016 with independent fact-checking organizations, that 'Experts, like everyone else, have their own biases and perspectives,' that too much legitimate political speech was fact-checked, and that the system attached 'intrusive labels and reduced distribution.' Says it will stop demoting fact-checked content.
