Examples of how Meta addressed
the potential risks in 2025
We ended our third-party fact-checking program
in the U.S. and instead began moving to a
Community Notes program. In the rest of the

who are independent from Meta and certified
through the non-partisan International FactChecking Network or, in Europe, the European
Fact-Checking Standards Network to address
misinformation on Facebook, Instagram
and Threads.

Overbroad government limits on content
2025 Meta Human Rights Report
We strive to follow our Global Network Initiative
commitments. In 2025, Meta underwent its fourth
GNI assessment (covering April 2022–December
2024). The GNI Board unanimously determined that
Meta had made “good faith efforts to implement
the GNI Principles, with improvement over time.”
We also reported on our responses to government
requests for data or content restrictions (here
and here). In 2025, noteworthy transparency case
studies involving political speech included those in
Austria, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Germany, India,
Iraq, Italy, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, New Zealand,
Poland, Romania, Singapore, South Africa,
Tanzania, Türkiye and Vietnam.
