) Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday defended the social media company’s political advertising policies and said it was unable to overcome China’s strict censorship, attempting to position his company as a defender of free speech.
Zuckerberg met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing and welcomed the country’s top internet regulator to Facebook’s campus. He also learned Mandarin and posted a photo of himself running through Tiananmen Square, which drew a sharp reaction from critics of the country’s restrictive policies. Zuckerberg effectively closed that door in March, when he announced his plan to pivot Facebook toward more private forms of communication and pledged not to build data centers in countries “that have a track record of violating human rights like privacy or freedom of expression.
Reuters reported in October 2018, citing sources, that Facebook executives briefly debated banning all political ads, which produce less than 5% of the company’s revenue.
xzxzanalazy The pause isn't exactly voluntary.
OH_NO_1661 Will he? I mean he even asked Big Daddy Xin to name his own daughter.
Can he defend his company's blocking certain political posts from US Citizens who happen to be on the Right side of the political persuasion?
Zuckerberg is so right! Traditional Democratic Party leaning media denied Bernie Sanders airtime in 2016. The likes of CNN were airing Hillary Clinton and gave Bernie very little airtime. Yes, they should err on the side of greater expression.
How in the internet fuck can he justify placing BIG LIE ads for theBigotWhisperer but I get yanked for 30days if I call the opiate crisis sponsored by BigPharm GENOCIDE for poor whites just like IranContraCrackToTheInnerCity was for our communities?
Zuckerberg is gonna be a distant memory very soon.
In fact, cooperation with the dictatorship of China as always.
LeBron might leave Facebook over this!
