Zuckerberg on Rogan: Facebook's censorship was "something out of 1984"

And I really thought manipulating people's reality by drowning them in desinformation contrary to observable reality, facts or anything they were told before was a theme in 1984. We are basically seeing step 1 happening right now, the (arguably harder) next step once people stop believing reality over the shit they are fed is getting the fictional narrative consistent.

But I guess I just read the wrong book...

Unlike Elmo, the Zuck is a reptile. He can save costs with moderation teams while increasing political influence in a time where TikTok can get banned. Of course he’s doing it.

I wish there was one journalist out there somewhere that would ask Meta if these new policies will be included in their HR handbook so their employees can say this stuff to each other. And when they say no, ask them why not.

The more his hair grows to resemble oversized pubes, the more his soul does the same

1984 literally ends with the protagonist winning the stuggle against himself and loving fascist Big Brother.

If only zuckerbot had actually read the book and understood irony.

I'm starting to think that Trump may have promised them a big tax break or something if they pivoted to an alt-right platform. Despite what people say, Meta's platforms and the company itself was always pretty Democrat in terms of rules (not talking about the moderation here). For example they removed the LGBT chat backgrounds, but these had to be added at some point. Idk this pivot seems too fast, it feels like they are trying to prove something rather than actually being MAGA. Kind of like they are playing pretend.

For me it's the part where they say things like "we were Maga for all this time but we were afraid to say it" and then in a single day the company does a complete 180? A change like this would have been more progressive in my opinion, meta is a large company and they have been doing A/B testing for a long time. It really surprises me that they would do something like this so fast

In 1984, history and the truth were censored. Censoring bigots is not anything like 1984, so allowing hate speech doesn’t make you automatically not a fascist. In fact, it’s what fascists do.

Oh don't worry it still will be. Especially for pro palestine posting and anything critical of israel.

In fairness, I could almost get onboard with Zuckerbaywatch's line of thinking: too little moderation is generally healthier than too much moderation.

But here's the thing: he's suddenly having a change of heart and a newfound love for free speech right after going to Mar-a-Lago to brownnose the orange utan.

What a despicable individual... And I bet he doesn't even realize how nauseating a human being he is, because hubris and money totally numb his sense of shame.

How to create 1984:

Step 1: Say that anything that prevents 1984 is 1984.

He can't be fucking serious. LMAO. OMG. What alternative reality are we living in now?
