In this episode of the Frustrated By Your Marketing? Podcast host Jim DeMicco unpacks Meta’s surprising new free speech policies and what they mean for marketers. He explores Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to ditch fact-checkers, embrace community moderation, and bring back controversial discussions on the platform. Jim examines the potential risks for brands, the ethical dilemmas of advertising alongside divisive content, and why this shift signals the end of “Happy Facebook.” He also speculates how these changes and the looming TikTok ban could reshape social media marketing in 2025.
