Hot take:

This is to please the incoming president.

Both the far-right and far-left live off misinformation, but right now the far-right is experiencing a renaissance, and tech moguls are bending the knee to be on good terms with the leaders.

MAGA and European far-right politicians have been moaning for ages that fact checking is "politically biased". The Biden laptop controversy was the catalyst for this.






In what sense is this a hot take? This seems to be the dominant explanation by a wide margin.
