"The American-Filipino journalist [Maria Ressa] said Mark Zuckerberg’s move to relax content moderation on the Facebook and Instagram platforms would lead to a 'world without facts' and that was 'a world that’s right for a dictator'.'"

"It’s a retreat from limiting harm to users….
It was never about facts nor should it have been. It was always about limiting harm to Facebook users and advertisers. No reputable company wants its product or service placed next to a gruesome image of sexual exploitation, violence or bigotry."

"As I reported on Monday, for months Meta has been blocking dozens of LGBTQ related hashtags from search and down-ranking LGBTQ content. Meta’s new “free speech” policies do nothing to ensure ''errors' like this don’t continue to occur.

@wdlindsy
I'm kinda loving the brutal roasting of Zuck about "free speech."
@CatHerder I am, too, and the trolling I'm seeing on social media where people are posting all sorts of made-up crap about Zuckerberg, reinforced by made-up photos, since free speech, after all — and facts don't matter.
@wdlindsy
I was laughing pretty hard at the "free speech" Zuck mock ups yesterday.
I hope it never stops.
@CatHerder I'll admit, I've been laughing, too, and also shaking my head that it has come to this.
