UPDATED, with Trump comment: With less than two weeks before Donald Trump takes office, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg announced a series of changes to its content moderation practices on Facebook and Instagram, including ending fact-checking and other restrictions.

"The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards, once again, prioritizing speech," Zuckerberg said in a video posted this morning. "So we're going back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms."
