Facebook vs. The Facts: Has Mark Zuckerberg declared war on the truth?

Mark Zuckerberg has announced he’s ditching fact checking on Facebook and across Meta platforms. This is starting in the US, but how far will it go?

Chris Jones speaks to tech journalist and LBC correspondent Will Guyatt to find out why the Facebook boss is making these changes, beyond just cosying up to Trump, and what their impact will be.  • We are sponsored by Indeed.
