Mark Zuckerberg’s MAGA makeover will reshape the entire internet

CNN  

New York CNN — Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is making sweeping changes to the social internet, all in line with the desires of President-elect Donald Trump and his supporters. The recent elections “feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech,” Zuckerberg said in his announcement, justifying relaxed new content moderation rules on Facebook, Instagram and Threads. Tuesday morning’s announcements seemed like they were addressed directly to Trump, especially since Meta first gave the news exclusively to “Fox & Friends,” one of the president-elect’s favorite TV shows. The company’s newly promoted policy chief Joel Kaplan, a former senior adviser to George W. Bush, sat with the Fox co-hosts and fully agreed with the show’s “censorship” versus “freedom” framing. On CNBC Tuesday morning, outgoing FTC chair Lina Khan said Meta might “want a sweetheart deal” from the Trump administration, “and I hope future enforcers wouldn’t give them that.” Meta is clearly trying to appeal to the incoming administration.
