Biden admin would ‘scream’ and ‘curse’ at his employees, demanding censorship, Zuck tells Rogan

By Alexander Hall  | Fox News Meta CEO founder Mark Zuckerberg told podcaster Joe Rogan that members of President Biden's administration yelled at his employees, demanding they take down content on their behalf. Meta announced Tuesday that it would be ending its controversial fact-checking practices and lifting restrictions on speech to "restore free expression" across Facebook, Instagram and Meta platforms, admitting its current content moderation practices have "gone too far." Zuckerberg spoke about the platform's struggles to maintain freedom of expression while fending off pressure from the Biden administration amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Powell: In Meta culture shift, Zuckerberg brings UFC president Dana White onto board

By Andrew Powell | Commentary, The Daily Caller It’s way too early to tell if we can ever trust the Zuck, but this is a good start. We’re all aware of who Mark Zuckerberg is, we’re all aware of what Facebook is, two names that we’ve all been screwed over by at least once ever since Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election. It didn’t matter if you were far to the right or just a little bit to the right, you’d get knocked for anything that went against the left-wing agenda. Facebook turned into a blatant echo chamber! But ever since Trump won the 2024 election — and honestly, you could say it’s been happening well before that — the culture has been shifting. And Monday brought us another example of that, as Zuckerberg has added three new members to the board of dire...

Mark Zuckerberg promises less censorship on Facebook as he scraps biased third-party ‘fact checkers’

By Lucas Nolan | Breitbart Mark Zuckerberg has announced major changes to Meta’s content moderation policies and practices on Facebook and Instagram, citing a desire to embrace free speech and avoid censorship. Zuckerberg’s changes begin with scrapping Facebook’s third-party “fact check” system which is notorious for its leftist bias. Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, is undergoing a major overhaul of its content moderation practices. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that the company will end its fact-checking program, plagued by severe leftist bias, and replace it with a community-driven system similar to X’s Community Notes. The changes come as a response to what Zuckerberg perceives as a “cultural tipping point” towards prioritizing speech, infl...

Shrier: Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and our government censors

By Abigail Shrier | Commentary, The Free Press When asked why he robbed banks, legendary fugitive Willie Sutton replied, “That’s where the money is.” Governments coerce social media platforms into censorship for the same simple reason: That’s where the objectionable speech is.  Thanks to a recent Supreme Court case, in America, there’s also little to stop them.  Social media platforms—but not their users—can sue the government to stop the impermissible suppression of speech, according to Murthy v. Missouri, decided in June. The Court held that social media users could not establish a causal link between government pressure and the suppression of their posts because “the platforms had independent incentives to moderate content and often exercised their own judgm...

Zuckerberg: Donald Trump’s reaction to being shot ‘most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life’

By BRIAN PORTER | Rocky Mountain Voice Elon Musk is not the only social media mogul digging former President Donald Trump these days. During a Thursday interview with the New York Times, the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, detailed his reaction to the attempted assassination of Mr. Trump at his final campaign rally, before accepting the Republican Party's nomination for President. He described Mr. Trump as a "badass" for his immediate response to the shooting. A kill shot missed its mark when Mr. Trump turned his head slightly right before impact and his right ear was grazed by the bullet. “Seeing Donald Trump get up after getting shot in the face and pump his fist in the air with the American flag is one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen in my life,” Zuckerberg to...
