Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg handed corporate media the most humiliating defeat since Donald Trump was re-elected on November 5th.
in amazing announcement On Tuesday, Zuckerberg said the third-party corporate media-approved fact checkers used by Meta's Facebook, Instagram and Threads were “too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they built.” admitted that.
Mr. Zuckerberg repeatedly used the word “censorship” to describe what Facebook was doing, and acknowledged that “legacy media” was the reason.
“Legacy media pushed more and more censorship,” he says. “After Trump was first elected in 2016, legacy media continued to write tirelessly about how misinformation was harming our democracy.”
Legacy media!
His prescription for solving this problem is a complete capitulation on his part, and nothing short of a crushing defeat for the legacy media and its quacks, fakes, and corrupt fact-checkers.
We're going back to basics and focusing on reducing mistakes, simplifying policies, and restoring free expression on our platform. More specifically, do the following: First, remove fact checkers from the US and replace them with community notes similar to X.
Fuck him fact checkers!
Not only that, but his specific examples of censorship going too far included gender and immigration, two of the very issues that corporate media don't want to discuss. In the future, you will be able to discuss these issues on Facebook.
In worse news for fake media, Zuckerberg said, “We will work with President Trump to stop governments around the world from going after American companies and increasing censorship.”
Will you work with President Trump?
And here's the beauty:
We are relocating our Trust & Safety and Content Moderation teams from California, and our US-based Content Review will be based in Texas. As we work to restore freedom of expression, I think doing this work in a place where there is less concern about bias on your team will help build trust.
No Austin please, Marky Mark.
Not only has Zuckerberg told regime media that he could go to hell, but he has also admitted that Facebook has engaged in “censorship”. We intend to reduce this significantly.) He acknowledges that the MAGA movement is dominant and that “we are now in a new era” and “a cultural tipping point.” He believes that following the lead of corporate media with fake fact checkers and bullshit about language is violence He killed freedom of expression on his platform and hurt innocent people. “We are going back to our roots of giving people a voice and freedom of expression,” he said, adding that the media-approved system “results in the theft of innocent people’s content and accounts.” “became” and added “below”
Yes, we must monitor Zuckerberg closely to ensure he keeps this promise. Nevertheless, he crossed the Rubicon. You don't publicly shove the regime media up its ass like this, especially when you're in charge of two of the biggest social media sites on the planet. If you want to stay at the club, the fact checkers can't be biased. Next to abortion, fact-checking is the sacrament of the media. And you never use the word “censorship” to describe what the media wants. Instead, we should use the words “safe,” “inclusive,” and “anti-racism.”
This is not only a humiliating loss for corporate media, but also a widely public acknowledgment of how weak and irrelevant the media has become. First, President Trump pointed out that they don't have clothes. Elon Musk then pointed out that they had no clothes. And now Mark Zuckerberg has just extracted some of the skin from the weakest member of the media collective.
The power of legacy media has long been an illusion. Now that this illusion has been shattered, we live in a whole new world.
