Mark Zuckerberg is playing politics with Trump – and putting people’s safety at risk

The Independent  

Move fast and break things. If there is one saying about the ethos of the new tribe of digital entrepreneurs – sometimes known as “information oligarchs” – it’s this one, credited to Mark Zuckerburg, CEO and founder of Meta. Imagine how such community notes would work in raging conflicts where communities are torn apart, extremely polarised or under unprecedented existential pressure – such as the ongoing very fragile transition in Syria, where sectarian and vindictive violence could flare up courtesy of incitement and disinformation on pervasive social media platforms. No surprise to read a warm welcome from the ruling populist pro-Russia Georgian party for this week’s announcement: “GD rejoices at news of Meta rolling back fact-checking.” But that’s to get ahead of ourselves, for there is no suggestion yet that these measures – designed to placate people living in the very polarised society where Meta is based – will be pushed out across the rest of the world. Many of us became involved because it was patently unsatisfactory for one man – Mark Zuckerberg – to have unfettered control over the speech of billions of people.
