Zuckerberg's address at Georgetown University was rooted in the principles of free speech, but ignored the role Facebook plays as a publisher.

Mark Zuckerberg's address at Georgetown on Thursday detailed his views on freedom of speech on Facebook.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg speaks at Georgetown University in a 'Conversation on Free Expression" in Washington, DC on October 17, 2019.In Mark Zuckerberg's view, this funky political moment we're living through is just a temporary blip. And Facebook's role in that moment — allowing election interference, fake news and hate speech to spread across its network of more than 2 billion users — will ultimately look great in the history books.

But what stuck out the most was how Zuckerberg thinks Facebook will be judged when we look back at this era decades from now. It wasn't just a rallying cry for conservatives who — despite evidence to the contrary — believe Facebook is snuffing out conservative voices. It was a reassurance for employees who have had to grapple with scandal after scandal over the last three years.

It's a tactic world leaders have used to defend their own controversial decisions, whether it was President George W. Bush defending the Iraq War, or war hawks in the 1960s making the case for the atrocities committed in Vietnam. Things seem terrible now, but don't worry! We'll be right in the end.
