I think you misunderstand what Meta is doing here. They’re not stopping moderation of posts.

Meta used to pay third party company fact checking companies to put disclaimers on “misinformation” posts on Facebook. They’re going to stop that now.

They’re still going to continue their other more traditional moderation where you’ll be banned for making an obvious tongue in cheek joke or whatever.

Moving the moderation team from California to Texas is also noteworthy.

Presumably because the political climate of California is so skewed from the rest of the country.
