Summary

Nutrition label

67% Informative

Mark Zuckerberg announced a series of drastic policy changes that could open the floodgates of misinformation and hate speech on Facebook, Threads , and Instagram .

His rationale parroted talking points that right-wing legislators, pundits, and Trump himself have been hammering for years .

Zuckerberg wasn’t coy about the timing, explicitly saying the new political regime was a factor in his thinking.

In reality, Meta has every right to police its content in the way that it wants.

Mark Zuckerberg announced he will no longer downrank political posts on Facebook.

Instead, he says he will work with President Trump to "push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor more” Zuckerberg seems less concerned about the criticism that he knows will of the criticism he doesn’t even have come on.
