Not a Zuckerberg fan & I believe those Winklevoss twins at Harvard were reportedly robbed of their intellectual property by Zuckerberg.

elatraverse Moi je le fais Bye Bye Facebook!

Fact checking and race discrimination and incitement legislation must be enough to rein him in?

LA CENSURA ES ILEGAL!!!!LA LIBERTAD DE EXPRESION ES UN DERECHO NO UNA EXCLUSIVIDAD!!!CIENTIFICOS?DE QUE?

ES EL PRESIDENTE...!!!!PIENSAN CENSURARLOESTAN LOCOS....?NO ES SOBRE OPINIONES ES SOBRE QUIEN CONTROLA A QUIENES NOS CONTROLAN

He is kissing the ass that feeds him.

it’s all about money for him. Sponsor should start taking their business else where and we’ll see him come around.

Is Zukerberg your presidential candidate now against Trump😅😅

Same expression of condescension and arrogance as Jared

Poor mark he has no social skills

Yes, can understand their pain. These elites no longer have the power to override the electoral choice of the masses, so instead his voice must be suppressed.

Is there any evidence anywhere that the Zuckerbot has ever passed a Turing test?

Fake news

Brave Honest Independently Minded Scientists are just what the World needs right now.🙄

michaelpurvis64 It's not the place of a corporation to manipulate the public political discourse. Why does the left suddenly trust corporations so much? They're not our allies! The more power we give them the harder it'll bite us back in future, when pandering to this mob is no longer profitable

The Guardian doesn't get how democracy works, right?

Zuck is yuck

Ewwww zuck

No problem. I’ve moved to Liker and Deleted Facebook and BOYCOTTED MURDOCH

This is Fascism.

As for how about publish of merveleemyers Report is Modern Slavery thriving in the UK? Because juneosullivan get KensingtonRoyal involved in DISCRIMINATION. Let rattynem reminds U BlackLivesMatterUK as this is 2nd miscarriage of justice by the Judiciary ET/EAT...

The phrase 'Zuckerberg-funded scientists' strikes fear in my heart. Just sayin'.

But Facebook Funding Terrorism to Fund the Scientists. See for more of what FB have been doing to those of us who refuse to accept DISCRIMINATION.But as the norm

It's a shame on 140 scientists after you have learned the Lancert's retractions' story.

People align themselves with trump & it turns into a disaster. Whatever deal Zuckerberg has going with trump we'd like to think he would have enough sense to stand on principle and what is the ethical thing to do. Making money is great. However, losing one's soul never works.

I think the 140 scientists need Zuckerberg's 85 billion dollars more than he needs them.

Rein in ALL of the filthy rich! BreakUpFacebook BreakUpFAANG NoMoreBillionaires HugTheRich HugThemTillTheySqueak

He is too busy reining conservatives up and banning them from their right of free speech.

Facebook CEO: LISTEN

Evildoers

There’s some mythical belief that scientists are like divine creatures that don’t suffer from the same biases as the rest of us.

Now 140 ex-Zuckerberg-funded scientists.

For the sake of democracy, Zuckerberg needs to detoxify Facebook ahead of the November elections. He could temporarily disable all bots and block all ads from unidentified sources.

Remind me why I closed my account.

Trump, enemy of Science and Rationality.

What the hell are Facebook 'scientists' and why is this alien their leader?

It is impossible to call these 140 people scientists because Mr. Zuckerberg is funding them. 1. For that reason none of their work can be taken seriously. 2. They can't be trusted to not politicize their findings. 3. The 140 all agree. Sounds more consensus than science

the damn media spreads misinformation on a daily basis, they would criticize POTUS if he said he put his left show on first. realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse

Does. Not. Compute. Beep.

Has he apologized yet, for letting everyone down?

The only thing this man thinks about is money

'If you support Donald Trump you are a racist' BlockAccountTrump

Why does he fund scientists? And why should we take seriously a platform which hosts benal content in order to steal our data and bend the narrative ? Enough of mainstream media lies and twisted truths!

If millions of people started deleting their Facebook accounts, Zuckerberg would suddenly get the message

Looks like Zuckerberg is a closet TrumpCult member! CNNPolitics politico JohnKingCNN HuffPostPol

My answer in today's businessposthq 'Regardless of what you think of Donald Trump, and how much you may want to shut him up, are we really comfortable that the control mechanism for free speech is left to Big Tech?' BigTech regtech FreedomOfSpeech

Not really sure if he understands how his own platform is built to support bias. The algorithm is designed to feed you things that reinforce your beliefs and the only reporting tools you have block any form of legitimate conversation.

Why so more people get banned for stating oh idk state/federal nursing home laws from healthcare workers over the covid patients being put w healthy elderly?! FB likes to call that FAKE news. BS. I dont care if your dem or rep that's some BS right there!

Friends don't let friends use Facebook. Delete your account now. I deleted mine a year ago and don't miss it one bit.

I’m sure Zuckerberg’s glad they’re using the $3bn he gave them for research to write long-winded letters on how he should be running Facebook.

I couldnt even finish reading that shit...

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Don't hold your breath because Zucker is pro trump FactCheckTrump TrumpForPrison2020 EpsteinsBlackMailMedia

Do they have any examples?

Why would that toadie Zuck care? His money insulates him from us commoners/peasants

This clown is an Israeli Puppet

Clickbait Zuckerberg risk losing that revenue stream? I think not.

You do realize that if they ban divisive language and spreading misinformation, you're gonna lose your account along with most other media?

Yeah, that's the way, keep pushing to censor him a week after he signs an EO that recommends the removal of immunity for all social media companies that engage in political censorship. Great idea, keep doing this.

More than 140 leftist-funded scientists call on Facebook to censor Trump?

Is it just me or are Zuckerberg's eyes getting even more enormous. I mean like Dune giant-eyed folding space creature big.

Me: 'There are Zuckerberg scientists?'

With actual reins and bit, please..!!

“Zuckerberg funded scientists”... just how f***ed up is that.. FB is like a nation state... funding its own scientists. Wake up folks this is a monopoly in the hands of one unaccountable man with an amoral business model. Break it up, regulate it.

About time

Mark should listen. He needs to embrace how truly awful Trump is & reverse his attitude about the guy. FB will begin to suffer a major decline if Zuckerberg doesn't get woke

He would need to get a spine.

Rein in? Hilarious good one 👏

Ok so zucc is a piece of shit, and in the textbooks we'll let the people know not to be him, and when hes put 6ft under we won't be holding a ceremony for it, let him die with their inherently flawed logic for the health of all

He straight up looks like an Android in this photo.

God bless you too for promoting knowledge and make easy access to it

Could you please do it in Brazil as well. Much appreciated!

He is still building momentum let's hope he can!

Zuckerberg Facts or LiesPriscilla Chan Facts or Lies

ZuckBot has been clueless, or doesn't care, for far too long. Jack could step up, as well.

WUT

Is Mark a Hybrid?

They wanna lure him from Twitter to FB
