Meta overhauled its content moderation policies in January, paring them down to allow more political content across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads. It eliminated several restrictions on topics like immigration, gender identity, and gender that “are the subject of frequent political discourse and debate,” it said in a blog post announcing the changes in January. The biggest change, though, was that it eliminated third-party fact-checkers and replaced them with crowd-sourced community notes like its competitor X. Meta said the most meaningful statistical change it observed from its new policies was a reduction in error rates.Meta’s latest Community Standards Enforcement Report showed the prevalence of online bullying and harassment violations on the platforms was between 0.08% and 0.09% in the first quarter of 2024 and around 0.07% in the first quarter of 2023.
