Nick Clegg, Meta's Vice President of Global Affairs, admitted in a blog post that the tech company has a "high" error rate in content moderation, leading to "harmless" posts being censored.
Federal Communications Commissioner Brendan Carr has announced an investigation into major technology companies over alleged censorship of Americans. In an open letter, Carr addressed CEOs Sundar Pichai (Alphabet), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), and Tim Cook (Apple), requesting information on their roles in what he described as a "censorship cartel." The letter accused the companies of suppressing free speech through actions like removing posts, downgrading websites, and labeling content as "untrustworthy," often targeting dissenting viewpoints.
Former President Donald Trump criticized the Justice Department on Tuesday, calling special counsel Jack Smith's additional accusations "election interference."
