Fox News: FLASHBACK: Zuckerberg and Facebook's conflicting positions over the years on censorship
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced the end of the company's third-party fact-checking program, claiming it will restore free expression on Facebook and Instagram. This decision has drawn criticism from fact-checking organizations, which argue that it undermines efforts to combat misinformation.
Zuckerberg's previous statements on censorship and free speech have come under scrutiny, as he had previously defended fact-checking initiatives. The change has been welcomed by conservatives who view fact-checkers as biased, while some fact-checking groups express disappointment, stating that facts should not be equated with censorship.

Fox News: Hydrogen-powered rescue truck just smashed a world record, and it only spits out water
The H2Rescue truck, developed by Cummins Accelera with U.S. government support, set a Guinness World Record by traveling 1,806 miles on a single tank of hydrogen. It demonstrated the efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell technology, emitting only water vapor and saving significant carbon emissions.
Designed for emergency response, the truck can power operations for up to 72 hours and produce water as a byproduct. The DOE estimates that replacing traditional emergency vehicles with hydrogen-powered ones could lead to substantial fuel savings and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
