Facebook's Parent Company, Meta, Announces New Content Moderation Plans Amidst Accusations of Bias and Censorship

January 2025

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, intends to improve its content moderation policies in response to allegations of bias and censorship. The company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has been criticized for the way he handles content on the platform. The company has been accused of censoring certain types of content, particularly from conservative voices, which has led to complaints from users in states like Texas and California. The company is now planning to use artificial intelligence technology to handle content moderation more effectively and eliminate bias. This announcement comes after Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, announced plans to launch a new satellite internet service called Starlink X in 2025. The service promises to offer global broadband coverage, which could pose a significant challenge to Facebook's dominance in the social media sector.
