Facebook and Instagram owner Meta said it decided to end the program because expert fact checkers had their own biases and too much content ended up being fact checked.
Health officials have said the person was older than 65, had underlying medical problems and had been in contact with sick and dead birds in a backyard flock.
Meta has appointed three new members to its board of directors. The new members include Dana White, the president and CEO of Ultimate Fighting Championship and a familiar figure in the orbit of incoming President Donald Trump. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post late Monday that the social media company is also adding auto tycoon John Elkann and tech investor Charlie Songhurst. White’s ties with Trump date back to 2001, when White hosted a UFC at the Republican’s former casino-hotel in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the Trump Taj Mahal. Trump has also appeared with White at UFC matches over the years, especially in his 2024 campaign as part of efforts to appeal to younger male voters.
