Mark Zuckerberg Just DEFENDED Donald Trump?! Says Facebook Will Uphold FREE SPEECH, Ok Prove it Mark. Democrat Kamala Harris has made repeated demands that Trump be banned form twitter. Elizabeth Warren has slammed Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook for allowing ads they believe are false. Both of these demands are anti free speech and quite authoritarian. To call on unelected tech billionaires to police and censor speech is terrifying. But the most unlikely of defenders emerged, Mark Zuckerberg himself. While it was a harder defense of free speech and a refusal to intervene in politics I think this is the result of a combination of bad news cycles facebook is facing. With accusations they allowed interference in the 2016 presidential election it seems mark is reticent to intervene in any political capacity at this point. Not only that but Mark was recently under fire from the far left over his meeting with some conservatives, something that is totally normal for almost every business. It still stands to be see if Mark will unban those he previously removed and until then I will hold total judgement. But so long as Mark is at least making a statement I will give him the respect he deserves in this moment. Lets see actions Mark, until then I won't believe youre taking a genuine stand against social media censorship.
