Four years ago today, when Facebook suspended Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, Mark Zuckerberg said "the risks of allowing the president to continue to use our service during this period are simply too great."

Maybe y'all are missing something here. Yes he was banned but he went on to win another election then what was the point on banning him in the first place? What did they hope to achieve with that ban? Zuck realized that the ban was useless.
Donating to Trump isn't the issue here and he's free to do so by the way and he has also donated to democrats countless times. So what exactly is your point?
I'm offering an alternative explanation. Yeah, his ban didn't prevent Trump from becoming president again, but I don't think the ban was going to stop that. The fact that Trump is continuing to spread hate is reason enough to maintain the ban, but I think his goals have "evolved."
Zuckerberg is so transparent.
Trump was no use to him then.
He still has a long way to go to beat Elonia.
Elonia will cling to Trump even harder.
It will end in tears. Waiting for them to turn on each other.
After the recent announcement of adding AI "user profiles," I downloaded all of my IG and FB data. This morning after it was reported that Zuck said that they are burying fact-checking, I paused all FB groups I created, and deactivated my account. I'll be deleting this shortly.
But now he's gotta appease the greasy bastard and he'll let the MAGA trolls loose all over the place.
They barely did the minimum and now they won't even do that.
Well as we know Trump worked hard to rehab his image. He conned people into buying a bible, he conned people into buying a watch, he conned people into buying fake $2 bills, and he continued to lie about everything. That was clearly enough of a moral swing to persuade Zuck
Democratic leaders must stop bringing pillows to a knife fight. Do not compromise, find common ground, or reach across the aisle. Bipartisanship doesn't work with fascists. Fight them as hard as you can. Sign the petition.
I'm inclined to believe nothing he says. I've never believed anything he says. He has always come across as a nihilist. That was his lawyers talking there.
I was a content moderator in Airzona when rump got in the first time. Fuck Meta, I have life long PTSD because of that job, all for a lousy 2k payout and to be hated on by them now
I believe that everything Zuckerberg said in this statement was appropriate. If Trump does not play by the rules and standards established by any company, he should not be allowed the benefit of using its platform. A consequence...something Trump hates to be holden to. Zuck sucks for this change.
I fully expect him to pretend to be a resistlib in 2-4 years when the pendulum of public opinion starts swinging against Trump. He has no principles, just goes where he thinks the wind is blowing.
They saw Trump as a loser on January 7, 2021. Exactly four years later, they see him as a winner. They think he's going to easily take over the entire country as a dictator and they want a slice of that power.
None of them ever had even a single moral or ethical belief.
We should have retained the Eisenhower era tax rates on the top 10% and imposed a confiscatory wealth tax to prevent this plague billionaires. It’s too late now.

And they should turn the screws on him if they do
