In an extended sit down interview, she discusses her hopes for her successor and weighs in on big tech’s goals to stay big in the coming years. Meta is making big changes; the UFC’s Dana White will join the company’s board, and Meta is rolling out “community notes,” ending its third party fact-checking program in favor of a model similar to what’s used on X.
