“Meta has already clarified that, at this time, it is terminating its independent Fact-Checking Program only in the United States, where we will test and refine the community notes feature before expanding to other countries,” Meta told Brazil’s Attorney General of the Union (AGU) in a Portuguese-translated letter.

They’re ending it in America, because it’s what trump wants.
If they end it in civilized countries, it’ll get banned like Twitter was in Brazil.
Sure, they’re being regulated in other countries. I guess in the EU for example, it’s the Digital Services Act and other legislation which mandate moderation, cutting down on hate and disinformation. They’d need to be sanctioned if they don’t comply. Or leave the market if they don’t like the law…
I wonder how they determine what needs to be moderated under which country’s rules. If one were to start accessing FB from the US through a VPN set to somewhere in the EU, if that would result in showing the user a moderated feed.

'They aren’t no garage startup anymore. They can afford enough lawyers in all countries to find it out.
I was thinking more for user benefit, for those who want to stay on FB. If they could know setting their VPN to a German server would give them German law protections, for example.
I don’t know any user benefit. FB is the plague.
In your scenario I think the user gets what other Us users get, because they use fingerprinting, this means they check more than just the IP.
