Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced Friday that its fact-checking program in the United States would be “officially over” on Monday, when it will roll out the community notes feature across all platforms.

The news comes after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced in January that the company would end fact-checking and move to restore free speech on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Starting Monday, fact-checkers will no longer be able to rate new content and old fact-checks placed on content will no longer appear.
