Reality check. Could Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg actually have seen the light? Road to Damascus level stuff? His new MMA friends say yes. Trump says in so many words, maybe.
I say it’s a good start, but so far it’s only a couple sewer lids look down view into an underground Pacific Ocean size of left wing sludge that is Facebook/Meta operations.
Zuckerberg has declared himself guilty. That’s a positive. Make no mistake, he is no Musk. Without firing eighty percent of the current administering staff at Facebook, ninety percent of the bias in engineering and allowed presentation/speech will continue.
It remains to be seen if Zuckerberg has the power over his running sludge political dogma factory he thinks he has. For now he is begging the public to forgive his gigantic “oopsie.” The election combined with X’s resounding success, combined with threats to treat Meta like a publisher, combined with less people using the app because they are generally fed up with a platform that lies and manipulates what you see while feeding you ninety percent ads on your timeline…whew… is kind of a wake-up call.
All in all, this is some clumsy CYA. I’m curious how this particular song ends. I’m skeptical, but always hopeful.
