Holy hate speech batman! Meta is changing it's restrictions/rules across all it's social media platforms.

Meta to End Fact-Checking Program in Shift Ahead of Trump Term
The social networking giant will stop using third-party fact-checkers on Facebook, Threads and Instagram and instead rely on users to add notes to posts. It is likely to please President-elect Trump and his allies."

I saw a FB exec on a news program today that said the restrictions were in place because the Biden team pushed for them. Trust me, they're not changing based on threats by Trump - they're changing because more 'open' platforms are popping up and hurting their business. They read the market wrong and they're trying to correct course. Good for them.

In other news, they're moving their content moderation team (aka censors) in-house and they're moving that group from CA to TX because the CA team might be biased towards the left. Ya think!?

In other other news, Zuck tapped Dana White to join his board. You know Dana White, the head of the UFC who once told a reporter that he doesn't tell his fighters what they can or can't say whether he disagrees with them or not.

Four years ago, Zuckerberg testified in front of Congress and tried to justify why he censored physicians, including us at America's Frontline Doctors — labeling our research and concerns as misinformation.

We exposed the truth to the public and got over 20 million views within 24 hours. Zuckerberg shut us down and banned our pages and accounts. Facebook then went on a relentless campaign over the next four years, silencing virtually all dissent — even banning renowned physicians and researchers for daring to oppose the mainstream media narratives about Covid and the experimental mRNA vaccines.

Many lives could've been saved had he just allowed the truth on his platform — but he caved to the pressure of the Biden Administration. Now he's changing his tune because he recognizes most of America believes in free speech.

He was never principled about this — and is now walking back his beliefs by releasing a video claiming to now care about free speech. He appears to only be doing what he can to improve his public image. I don't believe he's sincere about this, and when the next Administration comes, he'll change his tune again.

We don't trust him.

Looks like Mark Zuckerberg has joined the ranks of the crazed conspiracy theorists who claim that the Biden administration pressured Facebook to censor dissent during Covid.

Joe Rogan Shuts Down Zuckerberg’s Claim That COVID Censorship Was Intended for a Public Good

ZUCKERBERG: “I still think it’s good for more people to get the vaccine… I think that they [the government] had a kind of goal that they thought was in the interests of the country. And the way they went about it, I think, violated the law.”

ROGAN: “Well, there’s a bunch of problems with that, right? There’s the emergency use authorization that they needed in order to get this pushed through. And you can’t have that without valid therapeutics being available. And so they suppressed valid therapeutics. So they’re suppressing real information that would lead to people being healthy and successful in defeating this disease.

“And they did that so that they could have this one solution. And this was Fauci’s game plan. I mean, this is the movie Dallas Buyers Club. That’s Fauci in that movie. That was with the AIDS crisis. This is the exact same game plan that was played out with the COVID vaccine.

“They pushed one solution, this only one, suppressed all therapeutics through propaganda, through suppressing monoclonal antibodies, like all of it. And that was done, in my opinion, for profit. And they did that because it was extremely profitable. The amount of money that was made was extraordinary during that time.”

Mark Zuckerberg privately warned Facebook execs about mRNA vaccines, stating, "We just don't know the long-term side effects of basically modifying people's DNA and RNA."

He then banned mRNA-vaccine-injury groups with hundreds of thousands of members.
