I would think there is a priority order in his mind. Decentralized fact checking, centralized fact checking, no fact checking. His actions fit well with that. Also, I believe zuck wasn't using only one asset to do the checking. He was using multiple fact checking sources. So it was kinda decentralized. I would expect this guy would rather see the user choose the fact checking source for content they see.
Surph_ninja is definitely right with one thing though: previously Meta used a pre-selected group of organizers who were able to fact check. Meta are now switching to a model where everyone can "fact check" (the former Twitter "community notes" system).
Using multiple sources that support the same pro-western narratives means little. It doesn’t make a lie peddled by the IDF any better by delivering it through multiple outlets.
