META CEO Mark Zuckerberg's announcement to toss out fact-checkers and prioritise 'free speech' sparked condemnation from critics, who called it a "major step back" for public discourse.&nbsp;
Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday (Jan 7) that the company will be making some changes to its moderation policies and practices, citing its aim to embrace free speech.&nbsp;
The company will be altering the way posts, videos, and other content are moderated online. It will be getting rid of fact-checkers and will replace them with user-generated "community notes", which is similar to Elon Musk's X.&nbsp;

Moreover, content moderation teams would also be moved from California to Texas &ldquo;where there is less concern about the bias of our teams&rdquo;, said Zuckerberg in a five-minute video statement.&nbsp;
<h2>'Bending of knee to Trump'</h2>
Nina Jankowicz, a former US government official tasked with fighting disinformation, described Zuckerberg's move as a "full bending of the knee to Trump."
"Facebook has already contributed to the demise of journalism and this will be the final nail in the coffin," she added.

"These changes will make it more dangerous for women, LGBT+ people, people of colour, scientists, and activists to speak out online, where they already face disproportionate harassment and attacks," it added.

As US President-elect Donald Trump reiterated his proposal to make Canada the 51st state of the US multiple times since his electoral victory, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau rejected Trump's threats, saying that there isn't "a snowball's chance in hell" that Canada would become part of America.&nbsp;
Earlier on Tuesday, Trump, while delivering his remarks at Mar-a-Lago, said that he would consider using "economic force" to join Canada and the US together.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Canada and the United States: that would be really something,&rdquo; he said during the press conference.

Trudeau rejected threats made by the US President-elect that America could use "economic force" to annex its closest ally.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Workers and communities in both our countries benefit from being each other&rsquo;s biggest trading and security partner,&rdquo; Trudeau said in a social media post.&nbsp;

Top World News Of The Day

US President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday (Jan 7) said that when he was in power there were no wars, stressing that "I'm going into a world that's burning." He slammed President Joe Biden's negotiating tactics with Ukraine for the situation.&nbsp;
"Now I'm going into a world that's burning," Trump said while delivering his first remarks as certified election winner.&nbsp;
He said this in reference to the Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Hamas wars. Trump said that Russia's war in Ukraine is &ldquo;much more complicated&rdquo; now and that it could escalate further.&nbsp;
&ldquo;That war could escalate to be much worse than it is right now,&rdquo; he said.&nbsp;

<h2>&lsquo;Gulf of Mexico should be called Gulf of America&rsquo;</h2>
Trump further said that the Gulf of Mexico should instead be called the &ldquo;Gulf of America&rdquo; as he continues his expansionist streak, saying that it is "appropriate".&nbsp;
However, he did not mention how he would make the renaming happen.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We&rsquo;re going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, which has a beautiful ring that covers a lot of territory. What a beautiful name. And it&rsquo;s appropriate,&rdquo; Trump said.&nbsp;
He further blamed Mexico for undocumented migration and threatened tariffs on both of America&rsquo;s continental neighbours.

He further warned that the US is going to put "very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada."&nbsp;
"They can stop them. And we&rsquo;re going to put very serious tariffs on Mexico and Canada, because Canada, they come through Canada too, and the drugs that are coming through are at record numbers, record numbers. So we&rsquo;re going to make up for that by putting tariffs on Mexico and Canada, substantial tariffs," he said.&nbsp;
<h2>'All hell will break out'</h2>
Trump warned that if hostages still being held in Gaza are not released by the time he is inaugurated on January 20, &ldquo;all hell will break out in the Middle East.&rdquo;
He said that it would not be good for Hamas, stressing that there should have never been the October 7 attack.&nbsp;

<h2>'Looking at' possibility of pardoning Jan 6 rioters</h2>
The president-elect said that he was "looking at" the possibility of pardoning January 6 rioters who are charged with violent offences.&nbsp;
&ldquo;Well, we&rsquo;re looking at it, and we have other people in there,&rdquo; Trump said when a reporter asked, "You said on your first day of office you were going to pardon January 6th defendants. Are you planning to pardon those who were charged with violent offences?&rdquo;
&ldquo;People that were doing some bad things weren&rsquo;t prosecuted, and people that didn&rsquo;t even walk into the building are in jail right now. So, we&rsquo;ll be looking at the whole thing. But I&rsquo;ll be making major pardons, yes," Trump further said.&nbsp;

Further slamming US President Biden, Trump said the Biden administration is &ldquo;trying everything they can to make it more difficult&rdquo; and is seeking to &ldquo;block the reforms of the American people and that they voted for.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Remember, this is a man that said he wants to transition to be smooth,&rdquo; he said of President Joe Biden. &ldquo;Well, you don&rsquo;t do the kind of things&mdash;you don&rsquo;t have a judge working real hard to try and embarrass you.&rdquo;
<h2>Trump satisfied with Meta's move</h2>
Trump said Facebook-parent Meta's abrupt policy shift on content moderation, including ending fact-checking in the US, was "probably" motivated by his threats against CEO Mark Zuckerberg.&nbsp;
While speaking to reporters, he expressed satisfaction with the new move.&nbsp;
When asked if he believed it was a response to his threats against Zuckerberg, Trump said, "Probably, yeah."
