Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg Bashes Biden, 'Sucks Up' to Trump

Jan 12, 2025 | After ending outside fact-checking on Meta platforms, Mark Zuckerberg slammed the Biden administration's crackdown on Covid disinformation during the pandemic. Status newsletter founder Oliver Darcy shares why Zuckerberg is suddenly giving Donald Trump "exactly what he wants."

Zuckerberg is like the rest of these tech billionaires, he's an arse-kisser, a brown-noser, and arsehole scraper.

These people should never have been allowed to get as wealthy as they have become at our expense. They should have been taxed until the pips squeak. Ordinary folk have to pay their taxes; these people, however, are allowed to get away with not paying their taxes and, as a result, their power has grown exponentially. This is all because politicians of all stripes and hues have had neither the balls nor the spunk to tax them. Now, we ordinary folk will have to pay the inordinately high price for the weaknesses of our so-called leaders. – © Mark Alexander

Facebook and Instagram to Get Rid of Fact Checkers, Mark Zuckerberg Announces | BBC News

Jan 7, 2025 | Meta is abandoning the use of independent fact checkers on Facebook and Instagram, replacing them with X-style "community notes" where commenting on the accuracy of posts is left to users.

Chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said third-party moderators were "too politically biased" and it was "time to get back to our roots around free expression".

Zuckerberg and other tech executives are seeking to improve relations with US President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office later this month.

In a wide-ranging news conference on Tuesday, when asked whether he thought Meta was introducing the changes due to threats he had made towards the company, Trump replied, "Probably."

At the same event, he also said he wanted to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Mark Zuckerberg-backed Immigration Bill Would Allow Unlimited Muslim Immigration

BREITBART.COM: In January of 2015, a handful of Senators quietly introduced new legislation in Congress that would allow for virtually unlimited Muslim immigration into the United States – lifting caps entirely on several categories of visas favored by immigrants from Muslim countries.

The Mark Zuckerberg-backed legislation, S.153, is called the Immigration Innovation Act (or I-Squared), and it has taken on new significance following the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino. Those attacks were only possible due to Muslim immigration: Syed Farook is reportedly the child of Pakistani immigrants, and his jihadi bride, Tashfeen Malik, was reportedly born in Pakistan.

The I-Squared bill is significant for a second reason. One of the Senators who introduced the bill is also running for President: Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL). And several of Rubio’s most prominent financial backers are among the bill’s boosters. » | Julia Hahn | Washington D.C. | Sunday, December 13, 2015

Facebook to Censor Images of Prophet Mohammed in Turkey Just Two Weeks after Mark Zuckerberg Wrote Passionate Message Defending Right to Free Speech

MAIL ONLINE: Facebook will ban pages in Turkey which 'insult Prophet Mohammed' / Comes weeks after Zuckerberg defended right to be offensive in post / Turkey also banned web access to cover of Charlie Hebdo magazine / Move is seen as the latest in crackdown on 'offending religious material'

Facebook has reportedly agreed to censor cartoons of Prophet Mohammed just two weeks after its founder defended the right to free speech in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terror attacks.

The social network made the decision after Turkish authorities threatened to block the site entirely if it did not remove the images - some of which come from Charlie Hebdo magazine.

The dramatic about-face will be personally embarrassing for Zuckerberg, coming weeks after he defiantly said: '[Facebook] will never let one country or group dictate what people can share.' » | Chris Pleasance for MailOnline | Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Iran Bans WhatsApp After Facebook Purchase because Zuckerberg "Is an American Zionist"

THE INDEPENDENT: Iranian censors have reportedly banned popular messaging app WhatsApp because Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose company recent bought the app, is an “American Zionist”.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that the ban has triggered “an open dispute” within the Iranian government, especially in the light of President Hassan Rouhani’s recent shift towards more moderate policies for the Islamic Republic.

The ban was announced by the secretary of the Committee for Determining Criminal Web Content Abdolsamad Khorramabadi who has been quoted as saying that "the reason for this is the adoption of WhatsApp by the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who is an American Zionist." » | James Vincent | Wednesday, May 07, 2014
