Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is dealing with a flood of fake news headlines after announcing that his social media sites will stop fact-checking news stories on Meta platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

Meta’s surprise decision to scrap its fact-checking partnerships blindsided journalists involved in the program, putting some out of work. Alan Duke, a former CNN journalist who runs a fact-checking organization hired by Facebook speaks to CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan about Meta’s new policy.

As part of a broader effort by Mark Zuckerberg to get in President-elect Donald Trump's good graces, the Meta CEO is pulling the plug on fact-checking.

The social media company said it's launching a test that will let Facebook users in Germany, France, and the U.S. browse eBay listings directly on its Marketplace service but will still have to complete the transaction on eBay.

Meta said Wednesday that it will allow some Facebook users to view eBay listings on its Marketplace service, as it tries out a possible way to resolve European Union charges of anticompetitive behavior that the bloc leveled last year.
