Facebook Will No Longer Fact-Check Your Dumb Posts

In both an official press release and a series of posts on Threads (embedded below), Mark Zuckerberg has announced Meta's plans to kill its fact-checking program. Community Notes will replace the third-party fact-checkers, with Meta/Facebook believing that social media communities are capable of moderating themselves.

Meta's Community Notes will work in a similar way to X's Community Notes. So, rather than third-party fact-checkers deciding what is and isn't appropriate (and removing posts accordingly), the community will respond to claims and opinions, offering counter-claims or calling out misinformation. Community Notes will be phased in over the next couple of months, starting in the United States.

India Proposes Digital Data Rules with Tough Penalties and Cybersecurity Requirements

The Indian government has published a draft version of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules for public consultation.

"Data fiduciaries must provide clear and accessible information about how personal data is processed, enabling informed consent," India's Press Information Bureau (PIB) said in a statement released Sunday.

"Citizens are empowered with rights to demand data erasure, appoint digital nominees, and access user-friendly mechanisms to manage their data."

Legal Tech's Predictions for Artificial Intelligence in 2025

Many expect that the coming 12 months will also shed more light on just how gen AI will impact the business of law and the legal job market. However, more complex issues, such as aligning copyright laws with AI-created content, might not be resolved anytime soon.

Amid an expected shift in the U.S. regulatory landscape, experts also predict more state-level AI laws and the EU’s far-reaching AI Act becoming more of a standard-bearer. Still, AI innovation will likely accelerate, with much focus on AI agents that look to automate entire legal workflows instead of just tackling single, one-off tasks.

Here’s a look at experts’ predictions for how AI will evolve, impact the legal industry and be regulated (or not) in 2025:
