It’s astonishing to watch business leaders bend the knee to Donald Trump as he prepares to take office. CEOs like Tim Cook and Dara Khosrowshahi have written million-dollar checks to Trump’s inaugural committee, forsaking their basic human dignity for government perks, perhaps even to avoid prison.
Mark Zuckerberg, perhaps the most debased mogul, has publicly sided with Trump’s authoritarian cause under the guise of ‘free speech,’ allowing unchecked bigotry and conspiracy theories on Facebook while censoring topics like cannabis and Covid vaccine discussions.
Facebook's approach is perplexing. Users can openly express dangerous conspiracy theories, but discussions surrounding cannabis remain highly restricted. The platform's emphasis on prohibiting certain topics, while allowing harmful rhetoric, reflects a troubling prioritization of content moderation.
Zuckerberg's claims that American business needs more 'masculine energy' further illustrate how far off the rails the social media landscape has become, muddying the lines between genuine dialogue and harmful misinformation.
