Zuck Regrets Censoring Facebook at Request of Democrats

[@BlueSatoshi]

Easy for him to say "my bad" when the damage is long already done.

[@act.13.41]

For me, it is going to take more than a confession to make things right. Zuck needs to start fighting back.

[@act.13.41]

Oh yeah, thanks Bryan.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Yeah do it by quitting his job at the CIA. He was programming AOL ccoms two years before he became a social media mogul using stolen (and boilerplate) VB 6 code. You don't upgrade your life status that quickly and without any skill whatsoever without stepping on someone's neck to get there. But if not for Nepo Baby nobody fucks the United States of America would BARELY fill two paragraphs of a world history encyclopedia, so

There are signs he is moving towards the light. The open source release of Llama was one of them.

Thank you for standing up for freedom and covering this story. I was personally censored by Facebook when sharing the story about Hunter's laptop in messenger!

[@cptfarzkizz8823]

Isn't that crazy ? My mother was censored in messenger as well.

[@TheAnthonywildman]

@cptfarzkizz8823 Yes, the fact that they have censored private messages is kinda mind blowing. I only tried to share a link to download the actual files from the laptop, and it simply did not arrive. No notice or anything I ended up encrypting the files and sharing via Google drive.

[@tehehe5929]

Remember he has the biggest social online platform. He knows everything there is to know about public sentiment as far as government, him or his company goes and he uses this knowledge to position himself to avoid public ire. I don't for a second believe his new found love for free speech etc and neither should you. Question is what he knows and what made him write this.

[@ImperiumLibertas]

He 100% thought that if he colluded with the current administration that he would avoid monopoly and data privacy lawsuits from federal agencies and legislation. Now that it looks like the current administration might not be the next administration he's flipping the script.

[@george-stathopoulos]

[@KalaAltheaBalik]

[@mytech6779]

You cannot block his style! Ha Ha Ha Ha.

[@kekistanifreedomfighter4197]

Call me crazy. But when he says "sorry" I'm not inclined to believe him.

[@Trahloc]

I think he has good intentions but was surrounded by people who are more extreme than him. Unlike Jack Dorsey though he has the power to force Meta to align with him vs the reverse. In time we'll see if he is genuine.

[@8bitsloth]

"Sorry we got caught" is what he means.

[@alphago9397]

His only regret is siding with the losing side of the culture war we're currently in ...

[@TheGuyWhoIsSitting]

Either A) he’s not getting more hush money or B) he’s worried about potential inquiry into meta. I don’t know. Frankly they all admitted to suppressing stuff to support their guy. I wonder if this will get through.

If this is honest and real, it's a huge deal

[@BrimstoneSociety-js6po]

B-but IT WAS ALL A RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY THEORY. My favourite breadtuber told me that.

[@mutantleg]

it was sad for me to learn how many programmers and tech guys have a political lean and it's not the left or right part that bothers me more the fact that how so many have a radical stance a 'balls to the walls pants on head screaming from the rooftops the world is ending' kind of lean not just 'yea I vote for those guys whatever' 🤔 alas I used to be naive and thought an intellectual is neutral by nature - we live in such crazy times 😔

[@kimtyson9101]

Just a side note - Rumble is Canadian and it has a US branch - so technically still in the US. "Rumble is an online video platform, web hosting, and cloud services business headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, with its U.S. headquarters in Longboat Key, Florida. It was founded in 2013 by Chris Pavlovski, a Canadian technology entrepreneur."

[@justanothercomment416]

He would have never had a platform if he hadn't made the deal. The deal was completely made by the intel community. He's very disingenuous on this. Both he and the parent company here made the deal. It's literally the only reason they exist. They exist to gather information and ctrl the populace. Period. Anyone claiming otherwise is simply dishonest.

[@BullFernando-p2d]

So what, he throwing Democratic party under the bus?

[@kpcraftster6580]

It doesn't read like he's sorry, does it? It reads like he's gloating about having gotten away with it.

[@kpcraftster6580]

"I welcome the opportunity to share what l've taken away from this process" That's a lie. "I want to be clear about our position" That's a lie. "Our platforms are for everyone -- we're about promoting speech and helping people connect in a safe and secure way" That's definitely a lie. "we own our decisions" That's clearly a lie. "I regret that we were not more outspoken about it" That's a lie. "I also think we made some choices that, with the benefit of hindsight and new information, we wouldn't make today" That's probably a lie. "I feel strongly that we should not compromise our content standards" That's obviously a lie. "we're ready to push back if something like this happens again" That's a lie. "We've changed our policies and processes to make sure this doesn't happen again" That's a lie.

[@judewestburner]

It's weird he brings it up now ten weeks before Trump will win the next election.

[@Danny.._]

ok but have you ever tried a peanut butter, jelly, and banana sandwich? it's actually pretty good.

[@Kwijibob]

replace the jelly with honey and it's even better

[@JPs-q1o]

Not very good *_for_* *_you_* , tho.

[@charlesterrell2603]

​​​​​​@@JPs-q1o Depends on how we define "good for you". If mental health is the goal, I'd say add a few shakes of freshly ground cinnamon to that sandwich (the honey version). The world seems pretty messed up sometimes. But if the world also has tasty sandwiches, well, that makes it all a little bit better.

[@mytech6779]

Two fruits‽ Ridiculous, such a quick snack is optimal at one or the other. Two is right out, a waste of time and ingredients (esp since nobody fits a whole cavandish on there anyway).

[@beskamir5977]

He's probably trying to get ahead of a leak or whistleblower. I doubt he's had a change of heart.

[@FMFVeteran]

I cancelled my FB page two or more years ago and will never renew

[@mytech6779]

I stopped using it back around 2016 as it was already obviously on the downhill slide. Didn't delete, rather I just cleaned up old posts of anything too edgy or political and double checked all my settings. So any employers looking me up will find what I want them to find and don't suspect I am hiding something by having no social media presence.

Imagine a parallel timeline where Zuck goes all out and becomes extremely based

[@SirBapkins]

Watched on Locals

[@alkismavridis1]

It is sad to watch. I was never a right winger. Nor do I like Trump. He has deep character flaws that make me cringe and often scare me. And yet, I cannot unsee the fact that the modern left (at least in the Anglo sphere and west Europe) has abandoned their working class ethos in favour of a toxic identity politics and straight up censorship. It saddens me deeply.

[@liaminwales]

This is a good sign, we need more tech to stand up. They backed a side, it's a clear political act. The UK is doing relay bad things at the moment, funny that the laws only applies one way.

[@Acetyl53]

Try to talk about the fields of bioelectromagnetics and magnetobiology using the more common parlance on any of these major platforms. If you're outside the pre-established narratives it's an instant delete. Also these people live in a simulated persona within a contrived inner labyrinth that acts as an interface to the external world, their language output means nothing on its own. Even your title is wrong right out of the gates. "Zuck Regrets". Zuck doesn't anything, Zuck doesn't even exist as a person. He's a stripped down core self (made of cobbled together robot child alters) that tailors its self experience and output to utility centered metrics, his emotions aren't real, his thoughts aren't real, they're all simulated. This is the only way a shattered mind can continue on.

[@horusfalcon]

_I'm_ not gonna yell at ya unless ya stop telling the truth. Keep on keepin' on, man.

[@PyVerse-47]

[@Rod_Knee]

He must consider it a definite possibility, or he wouldn't bother with that letter. He's taking a risk publishing it. If the Democrats do win, they'll likely take revenge.

[@mathiasfriman8927]

I will have a big smile on my face when it is finally clear that you have been wrong all along. Too bad that means that Democrats have to be the winners.

[@mytech6779]

Not losing isn't necessarily a win. But yes, Zuck is just scrambling to mitigate his own exposure. Especially if he listened to RFK's full speech last week when he suspended his campaign (Not the version where CNN censored his comments about being censored and defamed by CNN.), and his later short speech at Trump's AZ rally again calling out these propaganda campaigns for what they are.

[@johanswork]

censorship is bipartisan.

[@pgtmr2713]

No, it's not. That's liberals and RINO's confusing and conflating what is and isn't free speech. Conservatives are very clear on this, OR they're not Conservatives at all.

[@ThecatThecat-hq1op]

I remember someone saying that your content wasn't obviously political.

[@TheJosephAller]

Personally, Social media is its own entity and they can censorship whatever they want, just not at the request of a political party because free speech works differently on the internet

[@GoblinKing117]

No it doesn't, the way free speech works is that it prevents the government from sending people to prison for their speech with very few exceptions. company's can kick out, ban, or fire someone because they said something the company doesn't like with few exceptions regardless of if it's facebook on their site/app or inside a mcdonalds.
