On another front, the company is also moving its trust ecuador b2b leads and safety and content moderation teams out of California, and shifting its content review efforts to Texas, where X is also building a new content moderation center.

Meta’s new Chief Global Affairs Officer Joel Kaplan made the initial announcement of the update on Fox News, where he also referred to Meta’s core mission of enabling free speech.

As per Kaplan:

“In recent years we’ve developed increasingly complex systems to manage content across our platforms, partly in response to societal and political pressure to moderate content. This approach has gone too far. As well-intentioned as many of these efforts have been, they have expanded over time to the point where we are making too many mistakes, frustrating our users and too often getting in the way of the free expression we set out to enable.”

So it’s mistakes that Meta’s looking to address here, and it has nothing to do with pressure from the incoming Trump administration. Yep, that’s what it is.

On Community Notes, Kaplan says that this approach has worked on X, “where they empower their community to decide when posts are potentially misleading and need more context.”
