    Zuckerberg is just cynically following the political winds to avoid Trump going after Meta at Elmo’s behest. He doesn’t care any way about anything other than getting and keeping (not) his money. The second Democrats control all 3 branches, if that ever happens again, he’ll make another 180. Don’t give him the credit of saying these are his true, “mask off” morals or beliefs; he has no morals or beliefs.

    i don’t think this is zuck going all in on trump, I think it’s him realizing there will be no consequences under him for doing what he already wanted to: not do any moderation.

    He doesn’t want to have to be responsible for anything. He wants the money coming in so he can pursue his pet projects, and thus is minimizing the overhead on the existing money printers.

      I’d agree, but the fact that it’s specifically written that you’re now allowed to call homosexuality a mental illness, for example, seems to me a little more than just “I don’t want to moderate any more”

    The use of “transgenderism” in the official announcement told me everything I needed to know.

    “more speech and fewer mistakes.”

    You can’t make moderation mistakes if you stop moderating. tap head with finger

    Zuckerberg jumped on the Trump train. I think this anti LGBTQ stance is based on the MAGA opinions that were needed to raise votes.
