Meta Platforms ‘free speech’ overhaul divides oversight board, FT says

Meta’s oversight board has clashed over Mark Zuckerberg’s “free speech” overhaul of content moderation, Hannah Murphy of The Financial Times reports. Zuckerberg’s recent decision to end Meta‘s fact-checking program in the U.S. and weaken its hate-speech policies globally has prompted tensions between board members, multiple people familiar with the matter told the Times. Members of Meta’s oversight board were not consulted on this change, four people told the Times.
