Summary

Mark Zuckerberg has shifted Meta’s policies and leadership toward conservative positions, signaling alignment with a potential Trump administration.

Key moves include ending professional fact-checking, reinstating Trump’s accounts, criticizing the Biden administration’s COVID-19 policies, and promoting Republican-aligned executives like Joel Kaplan.

Meta has also faced scrutiny for supporting Trump-aligned figures and causes, including donating to his inaugural fund.

Zuckerberg, previously supportive of some progressive initiatives, now emphasizes reduced content moderation, citing political and regulatory pressures.

Critics view this as a strategic pivot amid evolving U.S. political dynamics.

      Hey now, it’s not fascism yet. We still have the illusion of choice. That will go away in 2028 when we don’t have the burden of voting.

        Don’t be so pessimistic. I’m sure you’ll be able to vote. For trump. Since there won’t be any other legal parties. But voting will be allowed (as long as you vote for trump)
