Jesse Eisenberg, known for portraying Mark Zuckerberg in 'The Social Network,' voiced his discontent with Zuckerberg's recent decision to eliminate independent fact-checkers from Meta's platforms. Eisenberg criticized the move, likening it to actions that exacerbate safety concerns for vulnerable groups. He highlighted the influence of billionaire tech leaders like Zuckerberg, who he believes are prioritizing political favor over social responsibility. The context includes Zuckerberg's efforts to appeal to former President Trump and a shift towards community-based moderation, stirring Eisenberg's apprehensions about the consequences for discourse and information accuracy.
These people have billions upon billions of dollars, like more money than any human person has ever amassed and what are they doing with it? Oh, they're doing it to curry favour with somebody who's preaching hate.
It's like this guy is doing things that are problematic, taking away factchecking... Making people who are already threatened in the world more threatened.
