In an apparent overture to the incoming Trump administration, Meta announced sweeping changes to its content moderation, including no more fact-checkers and a move to Texas.

The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact checkers and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. President-elect Trump and his conservative allies said they were pleased.

"While Zuckerberg characterized the platform giant’s new approach as a defence of free speech, its real intentions are twofold: Ditch the technology company’s responsibility to protect its many users and align the company more closely with an incoming president who’s a known enemy of accountability," Benavidez said in the press release.

The move is considered mostly symbolic, as it will not impact areas where oil and gas development is currently underway, and mainly covers zones where drillers have no important prospects, including in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

Even if President-elect Donald Trump manages to overturn Biden’s sweeping ban on new offshore drilling — which seems doubtful despite his promises — it likely won’t bring a massive boost to U.S. oil production,

President Joe Biden banned oil and gas drilling along the U.S. coasts, including off New Jersey. Not everyone in the state is celebrating the move.
