Reported at thenightly.com.au: Former Facebook Australia CEO Stephen Scheeler criticised Meta’s decision to eliminate its third-party fact-checking program, labeling it as a political move aimed at aligning with the incoming Trump administration.

Meta claimed the program was leading to censorship and announced it would adopt a crowdsourced model similar to that of X, owned by Elon Musk.

Scheeler warned that this change could result in increased misinformation and trolling on social media platforms.
