Mark Zuckerberg Ends Meta Fact-Checking While Showcasing $900,000 Watch

Meta's CEO announced a shift to community-based moderation, coinciding with a rare luxury watch that reflects his evolving public image.

Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta will phase out third-party fact-checking in the U.S., replacing it with community-based moderation tools similar to Elon Musk's X platform.
The policy shift includes amplifying political content and reducing restrictions on topics like immigration and gender, with Meta relocating its trust and safety team to Texas.
During the announcement, Zuckerberg wore a $900,000 Greubel Forsey 'Hand Made 1' watch, drawing attention for its rarity and craftsmanship.
Observers noted Zuckerberg’s growing interest in luxury watches, marking a departure from his earlier minimalist style and reflecting an evolving personal and professional identity.
The timing of the announcement aligns with Donald Trump's return to the presidency, with Meta signaling plans to resist government censorship alongside the new administration.
