Remove Nick Clegg as global head of public affairs. falkland islands b2b leads Clegg was the man who made the call on suspending Trump’s account following the Capitol Riots in 2021.
Install more Republicans in key roles in the app. Meta’s new head of public affairs, Kaplan, has worked in previous Republican administrations, while key Trump supporter Dana White has now been elected to Meta’s board
Shift to a Community Notes model for moderation, because Elon’s likely told Trump that it’s the best path to truth in social apps
Implementing these changes will no doubt ease the way for Meta’s path on various fronts over the next four years. And while Meta’s now looking to retrofit its reasoning to justify these shifts, the social impact is going to be negative, which Meta well knows.

Which raises questions about how much Meta ever cared about its public safety responsibilities, and how genuine any of Zuckerberg’s statements and apologies on such ever meant.

The bottom line is that a Community Notes model only works as a supplementary element to a fully-fledged moderation approach, which enables broader, faster action to address misinformation in social apps. It will not work at Meta’s scale, and it will lead to worse impacts on this front, for everyone.

But for Meta, business clearly comes first.
