Mark Zuckerberg Saves Free Speech


Listen Later

The new year has arrived, and luckily Mark Zuckerberg has started it by saving free speech! Brian and Paris break down the latest announcements from our benevolent social media overseer, what they signal about the tech oligarchy’s embrace of MAGA, and how they’re crushing any attempts to rein in their power. Plus, how Elon Musk is interfering in politics in Europe, ChatGPT Pro isn’t profitable, and more!

Mentioned this week:

  • Mark Zuckerberg is ditching fact checkers and Republican operative Joel Kaplan got a promotion to president of global affairs — the same guy who was stifling action against conservatives breaking rules several years ago.
  • OpenAI is losing money on its $200 a month ChatGPT Pro subscription.
  • Google sent $100 million to the collective representing Canadian news organizations, in response to government legislation.

Theme music is “Dystopia” by YACHT. Production is by Eric Wickham.
