from the hypocrisy-as-a-service dept
On January 10th, 2025, Mark Zuckerberg sat down with Joe Rogan and put on quite a performance.  He talked about how the Biden administration had pressured Meta to take down content. He talked about how the Biden administration had pressured Meta to take down content. He detailed how the Biden administration had apparently pressured Meta to take down content — how officials called and screamed and cursed — and how, going forward, he was a changed man. A champion of free expression, done forever with government demands to remove content. And a whole bunch of people (especially MAGA folks) cheered all this on. Zuckerberg was a protector of free speech against government suppression!

Twenty-four days later, he texted Elon Musk — a senior government official at the time — to volunteer to remove content the government wouldn’t like. Unprompted.

What's Ol' Zucky going to do when it's election time? Police your treasonous speech, while ICE is at the polls terrorizing voters?
