There are two predominant meanings for the phrase "take it as read", so it depends on the context in which it is used.
In a committee meeting or similar setting, it can be used to imply that everyone in attendance should have already received and read a given document (e.g. minutes of a previous meeting) prior to this meeting, so rather than reading the entire document aloud, it can be "taken as read" and officially recorded that it was so.
In a more general setting, it can mean that something is assumed to be true, without supporting evidence, or despite contradictory evidence - such as taking someone at their word, without asking them to show proof that what they say is true. Or in the case of people who believe everything they read, and who have an infuriating habit of propagating internet hoaxes, because they don't check the facts before they hit the "share" button.
