Facing charges of "censorship" from both Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, the EU will need its full legal arsenal, and political will aplenty, to stand up to U.S. Big Tech once Donald Trump is back.

Social media giant Meta on Tuesday slashed its content moderation policies, including ending its U.S. fact-checking program on Facebook and Instagram, in a major shift that conforms with the priorities of incoming president Donald Trump.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has announced it will terminate its third-party fact-checking program in favor of a community-driven model similar to the Community Notes feature on X, formerly Twitter.

Tycoons and major corporations in the U.S. are poised to break the 2017 fundraising record for a presidential inauguration fund as they seek favor with the incoming Trump administration.

Meta, owned by Mark Zuckerberg, donated $1 million to a fund supporting events for Donald Trump’s inauguration.

According to the Financial Times, this marks the first time Zuckerberg has made such a donation. In the past, Donald Trump had accused the company’s platforms of censoring right-wing voices and even threatened Zuckerberg with imprisonment.

In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has claimed that the Biden-Harris administration exerted significant pressure on Meta to censor COVID-19-related content.

Meta on Thursday introduced an improved AI assistant built on new versions of its open-source Llama large language model.
