[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zuck thinking he was the authority in determining what pandemic information was true while the too health experts all over the world were still trying to figure it out.

Remember the “Plandemic” video that he allowed to go viral all over his platforms? Yeah, that’s what was circulating during the time in question.

People need to learn what free speech actually means. [b]It does not mean you get to pick your truth and spread it far and wide with no consequences or pushback. [/b]

It does when you are talking about consequences or pushback from the government, and Zuckerberg has made clear he was pressured by the Biden team to silence voices on his platform.[/quote]

Facebook’s greed caused real harm in the real world.  Not only did they behave irresponsibly about what they allowed, their algorithms actively pushed people toward misinformation and conspiracies because that’s what went viral and all they cared about was engagement.  There were a number of ways he could have reduced the harm his company caused. There were Meta employees telling him it was a problem and they had developed ways to reduce it. He ignored them because would have interfered with his profits.  That team eventually dissolved because they were not allowed to do what they were hired to do.

Anyone falling for the free speech argument is a sucker.  If Zuck wants to profit of conspiracies then he needs to be responsible for the role he plays in the harm they cause too.
