Zuckerberg is an enthusiastic Trump collaboator

Zuck is really letting his fash freak fly:
Meta (née Facebook) is deep into a sustained campaign of capitulation to Donald Trump.
Last Thursday Mark Zuckerberg named Joel Kaplan as the company’s head of public policy. Kaplan is, of course, a Republican in good standing, stalwart friend of Brett Kavanaugh, and somewhere between friendly-toward and horny-for Trumpism.
Yesterday Zuckerberg appointed Dana White to Meta’s board of directors. What are White’s relative qualifications for such a role? He, uh, manages Ultimate Fighting Championship? LOL no, obviously White’s qualification is that he is one of Donald Trump’s closest friends and top endorsers. He was literally all over the campaign stumping for Trump.
Then this morning Kaplan went onto Donald Trump’s favorite morning show, Fox & Friends, and announced that Facebook is killing its fact-checking program and making its content moderation strategy more like Elon Musk’s Twitter/X regime. Because that has been such a success I’m Ron Burgundy?
In the course of his personal appeal to the incoming president, Kaplan said on Fox, “There is a real opportunity here, with President Trump coming into office, with his commitment to free expression, for us to get back to those values.” Believe it or not, my man Joel kept a straight face.
But wait, there’s more!
Because as Kaplan was getting his shine box, Zuckerberg himself unleashed a Thread-storm explaining his newfound commitment to free—sorry, “free”—speech.
Needless to say, Meta’s commitment to “free speech” involves adopting Elon Musk’s definition (i.e. everybody has to view Nazi content whether or not they want to, everyone else is subject to arbitrary restrictions.) But this is the most instructive MAGA gesture:
You see, people in California have political biases, while people in Texas a Real Americans who exist behind a veil of pure neutrality.
He’s not doing this because he thinks he has to; he’s doing it because he wants to.
