Facebook commitment to free speech will 'piss people off', Zuckerberg says | Technology | The Guardian
CEO defended Facebook’s decision not to ban political ads and said company will ‘stand up for free expression’
Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook chief executive, has unveiled a new approach to political advertising which he described as a stand for the principles of free speech, but also one that will “piss off a lot of people”.
In a candid discussion at the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit 2020 in Salt Lake City on Friday, Zuckerberg said that since his company is criticized for both what it does and does not do in terms of monitoring use of its platform, it will now support free speech “because in order to be trusted, people need to know what you stand for”.
=======================================================================
IOW, if they give me money, they can say whatever they want on my platform & I don't care. Neo-Nazi, Neo-Fascists, Neo-Cons, Neo-Commies ....I just don't give a flying crap about what they post as long as they make me richer. Think or say whatever you want. I'm so rich I just don't have to care.
