Asking them to take down stuff that is clearly false and can endanger people is not censorship.

Zuckerberg thinks Facebook should self regulate and that means in this case be free to allow posts of anti-vax propaganda and covid conspiracy theories that literally cost lives.

This is just a great example of why social media needs external regulation.

Someone's trying to become a right wing grifter.

Meta really needs to be split up, along with Google and Microsoft. Nobody can be allowed to have this much influence on public opinion without it going terribly wrong.

Ah, the "express regret" module was installed yesterday. It's nice to see his upgrades are coming along.

we should not compromise our content standards

You have to have standards to be able to compromise them.

Said the company who deleted a facebook post by Malaysia Prime Minister offering condolences to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, which Meta later apologised and restored the post. But sure, lets go ahead and defend misinformation that basically hindering the vaccination effort.

The Meta CEO also said the company “shouldn’t have demoted” a New York Post story about corruption allegations involving President Biden’s family ahead of the 2020 election while waiting for fact-checkers to review it.

The social media company has since updated its policies and processes, including no longer demoting content in the U.S. while waiting for fact-checkers, he noted.

This seems to be the only concrete thing in here and it seems like a terrible idea to me. No information about what exactly the pressure was from the government or what specific content they took issue with, leaving us all to come up with the guesses that most comfortably confirm our own biases.

Content? Hardly.

Disinformation. Lies. Etc.

The further we go down the misinformation hole the more these guys do their best to make their platforms shitty in the US while they comply with every dictator's political oppression policies outside the US.

The only reason this shitbag's site is still relevant is because it is a boomer propaganda machine

He knows he's complicit in the collapse, and just wants to make enough money to survive the world wide riots that will result. Every decision he makes is to guarantee that goal.

He seems confident (R) will win the next election. Either presidency or enough of congress.

I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards due to pressure from any Administration in either direction – and we’re ready to push back if something like this happens again

Well, I did need a good laugh this morning, I just didn't expect it to come from the lies this fucker tells himself so he can ~~recharge~~ sleep at night..

Zuckerberg is dangerously stupid.

Shit I didn’t know Zuck was going the Elon Route.

'They told me to keep it secret, but I regret not talking more about it.' Some things are black or white, don't try to fool us with the 'grey area'. If you didn't outspeak is because your whole purpose was to specifically avoid doing so!

"I did something shitty and shady and for that I'm truly sorry"
