Meta's announcement indicated a removal of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender identity, allowing more political discussions. The updated hateful conduct policy permits statements denying the existence of "protected" groups and supports gender-based job limitations. Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that the new policy may result in "catching less bad stuff" but will reduce the removal of innocent posts. Donald Trump welcomed the changes, suggesting they are "probably" due to threats he made to Zuckerberg.
