Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram and more, is moving to a community notes program over third-party fact-checkers. As part of its changes, Meta is following the lead of Elon Musk's X and moving trust and safety teams from California to Texas and other U.

The social media giant, whose founder billionaire Mark Zuckerberg has been trying to make nice with the incoming Donald Trump presidential administration, isn’t stopping there. It’s also shipping its “trust and safety” moderation team out of its liberal Bay Area headquarters and sending it to conservative Texas, as well as other unspecified states.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said moving teams from California to Texas and other states would help address concerns of overcensorship on its platforms.

As we work to promote free expression, I think that it will help us build trust to do this work in places where there’s less concern about the bias of our teams,’ according to the Meta CEO.
