I am sure that I am not the only person having had enough, enough, enough already of that Zuckerberg guy. Mark Zuckerberg, the multibillionaire who owns and operates Instagram and Facebook. In case you’ve missed it, Mark Zuckerberg is changing the way he operates Facebook. He’s now permitting messages to be online before they’ve been checked for accuracy. In fact, Mr. Zuckerberg has shut down his office of responsibility for accuracy which means Facebook may be spreading misinformation, even deliberately spreading false information, spreading it for any reason onto millions of private and public computers around the world. It used to be that Facebook very carefully kept information before sending it. Zuckerberg’s declared purpose being to avoid spreading false or even accidental misinformation. Well, not anymore. Now, apparently, it’s OK for Facebook to send messages, including hate messages about certain races and religions. As a result, I am sad to say, hate messages are being sent online, which is upsetting many Facebook employees, even executives, causing reporters to be asking Mr. Zuckerberg to explain what he’s doing and why. His most frequent answer, or most frequent answers by his assistants are, that he’s unavailable for comment. Ugh!
