“It feels like we’re in a new era now,” said Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, as he announced sweeping changes to the firm’s social-media platforms in a video on January 7th. Two weeks ahead of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration, Mr Zuckerberg outlined an overhaul of Meta’s content-moderation policy that meets many of the demands of American conservatives. The initiative says much about both the future of social media and the relationship between American business and government.
