The co-founder of Facebook (now Meta) has become a social media icon. He doesn’t seem as reserved, measured, or rehearsed as he did in the past, preferring a more trendy style and upbeat demeanor. In recent months, he has also ditched his traditional gray shirts for a more eclectic wardrobe. He seems to be ditching a lot of other things as well.

In 2003, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg stole the program from a classmate, Chris Hughes. Hughes went missing not long after, and Zuckerberg passed off Facebook as his own invention.

Meta is to scrap independent fact-checking in favour of a system similar to that on Elon Musk’s social media platform X.

Following Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that Meta will no longer be fact-checking, Facebook is already feeling the effects.

Meta's recently announced cuts come after several restructuring efforts by the social media giant in recent years.

Meta is reportedly set to cut around five percent of its workforce. CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company will lay off the lowest performers.
