This just confirms that Zuckerberg is a bitch. A whiny, easily cowed, poltroon who only cares about making money, so he crawls up to Trump on his knees and begs by doing shit like this.
Obeying in advance and showing us he is a browbeaten, feckless coward.
"The company’s trust and safety and content moderation teams will be moved away from California, with the U.S. content review shifting to Texas, in a move that would 'help remove the concern that biased employees are overly censoring content'". Wow.
Reminder that media companies really aren't brave, are they? In various ways, they bend with the currents. Most supported the Iraq war because their governments did, for instance. They are rarely leaders, they follow. Depressing but true I reckon. A few individuals resign in protest, but that's it.
You see it in how the journalists in those companies think about competition. All of them believe they are intensely competitive. But what they mean by that is: we compete for the same story and the one who gets it first wins. Competing by doing something no one else would think to do is rare.
To a large extent I agree, but not entirely. Always obsessive journalists who get intensely interested in something and do it anyway - saw this with Robodebt (an Australian scandal), Australian soldier war crimes (very brave at times). Maybe more individual courage than institutional.
That way if 1,000,001
People say: “Trump is handsome…”
But only 1,000,000 say “No he’s not.”
Then trump is handsome?
That may not work to democracy’s advantage.
It’s just so gross. Bc I don’t really seeing the actual news doing much better. Stenography journalism access journalism .. whatever it is, there is little attempt to inform audience of facts, educate on issues, or even bother with the historical accuracy of what politicians say.
Billionaires who were always chasing the $$$$ with a mere perception of reality vs facts. Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg. On and on. None of these guys were ever journalists. Zero education as to why journalism is protected in the constitution and it’s not about benefitting the billionaire.
This would make Pravda proud. Craven, cynical, gaslighting taken to an art form. He knows that we know it's BS. He wants it that way. We know it's BS but we can't do anything about it. Effing whackadoodle. He's as dangerous as Musk.

My brain is not equipped to process stupidity of this level
Media: "Uh-oh. We don't want to piss off the Nazis. Better de-emphasize facts."
