Google searches for how to cancel and delete Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts have seen explosive rises in the U.S. since Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company will end its third-party fact-checking system, loosen content moderation policies, and roll back previous limits to the amount of political content in user feeds.
Zuckerberg wants you to delete all meta products and send him to jail it’s well known. Everyone’s saying it
I nuked my account after Cambridge Analytica.
I assumed this would be the obvious, en masse response to learning, definitively, that FB is absolutely using its algorithms and data to intentionally manipulate society in general.

Meta CEO noted that his platforms would replace third-party fact-checkers with a community notes system akin to X’s, in which users can flag posts they think need more context.
Umm, OK. What happens after you flag a post?
