>I can't believe this sentence is written with full seriousness...

I would most emphatically say the same of yours. Have you heard of the First Amendment? What do you know about censorship? Seriously, the only reasonable way I can interpret your sentence is as being skeptical of Zuckerberg having a sudden urge to align himself with the freedoms most Americans take for granted. I agree, he's probably just trying to remain relevant and stay out of trouble.

As I said, if he wanted "misinformation" he could have hired anyone to be censors, to push exactly that. He didn't (at least on behalf of conservatives). I wouldn't approve of it even if it was in favor of views I like. Ideas need to stand on their own merit.



Please don't cross into personal attack. Note this site guideline:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
