The claim

““Meta is ending fact-checking on Facebook and Instagram in the U.S.””

Meta has announced it will end its third‑party fact‑checking program in the U.S. and replace it with a Community Notes-style system, but this change is not described by Meta as ending all misinformation enforcement.

Meta publicly stated it will stop using third‑party fact‑checkers for Facebook and Instagram in the United States and transition to a Community Notes-style approach, which supports the core of the viral claim. However, “ending fact-checking” can be misread as Meta doing nothing about misinformation; Meta says it will continue to enforce certain content policies (e.g., around fraud/scams and other rule violations) while changing how disputed claims are labeled and reviewed. The claim is also U.S.-specific per Meta’s announcement and does not necessarily describe practices in other countries. As implementation details and timelines can evolve, some aspects (exact rollout date and how enforcement will function day-to-day) may vary in practice.
