mark zuckerberg has been building towards this for years. in 2020, he actually also rolled back and said i will not fact check political content or political speakers after trump's threatened to sue twitter for taking down his content. it is not new and it affected some of the work i was trying to do while i was there. that said, it's highly disappointing, and let's be clear, they want us to focus on whether fact-checking is good or bad or whether it's about free speech or not as opposed to focusing on what they do with that speech on the stick thymic problems of the platform itself. which was not addressed at all in his comments today. >> let's stick with free speech. i want to play again a bit of what we heard in hallie jackson's report because it stuck out to me. >> the recent elections feel like a cultural tipping point toward once again prioritizing speech. we will get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms. >> okay, mark zuckerberg said it's all about f

that was sort of the beginning of this era of what was then facebook, where mark zuckerberg was obsessed with kind of pleasing his critics in the media and the democratic party from other people in technology. now, mark appears obsessed with pleasing the new administration. and this is not somebody who i think has particularly strong political beliefs at his core. like, this is not somebody, you know, as everyone knows, he dropped out of college. he is not somebody who, when you talk to his friends, as i did for a piece this summer, he's not somebody who, you know, feels super strongly about tax issues or abortion politics or climate change. this is somebody who, at this point in his life at least cares primarily about being liked and being and being liked by the incoming administration. >> what about the money? >> the money, the dollar signs? >> well, i think this is going to be, first of all, getting rid of a huge chunk of trust and safety that's going to save them a ton of money. this is an environment in which facebook meta wants to compete in the a.i. space. everybody is trying to m

now, mark zuckerberg as part of a company and a company can run its business how they choose within the long. but this is very clearly, a shift from the fact checking that zuckerberg used to tout. >> in 2016, we began to face new kinds of threats and after years of preparation, we were ready to defend against them. we built sophisticated systems to protect against election interference and we introduced the policies to combat voter suppression and misinformation. still, the pandemic created new challenges, how to handle misinformation about covid and voting by mail, how to prepare people for the reality that results would take time. we worked with local election officials to remove false claims about polling conditions that might lead to voter suppression. we partnered with writers and the national election pool to provide reliable information about results, -- >> and on he went and that was just four years ago and if you was into the substance of what he sang, the point isn't about whether he's the most perfect video presenter ever, that doesn't matter, that's not how he built his very

mark zuckerberg's decision could not be less subtle, end quote. ndards network went even further. fact checking zuckerberg's statements and deeming them to be patently false. the notion that fact checkers are politically biased is a deeply partizan issue in this country. a poynter institute survey from 19 from 2019 found that 70% of republicans believed that fact checking was one sided, while roughly the same percentage of democrats thought that it was fair. zuckerberg's justifications for ending the program, in fact, largely echo maga talking points, which have included threats of action against tech companies. in 2019, for example, republican senator josh hawley introduced a bill targeting facebook and other platforms for alleged political bias. analysts warn that under trump, the u.s. may be entering a new era of a freewheeling internet where popular social media platforms operate without formal safeguards against deliberately spread disinformation, inadvertently spread misinformation, absolute lies and conspiracy theories. they caution that a h

what is your reaction to all this in terms of mark zuckerberg and what it signals?on fox news. i think it's a kind of complete and total capitulation to the trump administration, but also to the general sort of political winds and winds of discourse as he described it earlier today. i think he feels the election is some kind of vote of no confidence in the legacy media, but also just in anything that could be broadly defined as woke and he wants to get out ahead of that, i guess, turn facebook or meta products into x like elon musk. >> the elon musk of it all seems to loom large and i wonder how much emulating elon musk and his relationship with trump is in the back of mark zuckerberg's mind, but probably more urgently, what this practically does to the spread of information. i know some people think community notes while deeply flawed is probably the best model that maybe x at least could use to try and mitigate some of the garbage that's on the internet. what's your thought how effective this change of moderation is? >> on x community notes is probably the best th
