Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced major changes this week to how his company will moderate posts on Facebook and Instagram.

Cato Institute scholar and Meta Oversight Board member John Samples joins host Steven Overly to explain why he thinks the changes are necessary, if imperfect, and why more are likely to come.
