It is a shame this was flagged. This is a conversation that is needed. Culling all political discussion is not what today's hackers need.

Democrats are not against voter ID if voter ID is free and easy to obtain for every person who is legally entitled to vote. And by "free" I don't mean that there is just no fee charged by the agency that issues the ID. I mean that it also shouldn't require documentation that cannot be obtained for free. There are plenty of links in this comment [1] with details on how many Americans who are legally entitled to vote l…
You kinda think that someone who is in favour of "masculine energy" would, you know, choose to not bend the knee.

California democrats literally made it illegal to show ID in elections. Not just "Voter ID" but literally driver licenses.

Maybe when it was trendy he heard some convincing arguments one way, and now that trends shifted, he was convinced to go to the other side. Maybe he doesn't give a shit at all and is going with the flow. None of this particulary feels like cowardice. Honestly, y'all should stop caring what mark thinks and start caring about the average american. Trump isn't scary because a couple of billionaires are on his side. He's…
Trump got a plurality of the vote, not a majority.
Agreed with the cowardice. But I think it worked both ways. It was pretty clear that Facebook (and a lot of other industries) also took on a lot of practices that they clearly didn't believe in either. DEI was taken up performatively for political reasons. We cannot be upset when it is removed performatively for political reason. And we have to be honest that these programs were largely failures. Fact checking especi…
It's very confusing to me that pretty much nobody takes what Zuck said in that interview at face value. It's entirely possible he thought that doing fact checks is a good approach in the context of the beginning of Corona - and then find out how borderline impossible such an approach is in practice and consequently change his opinion on doing it...

Entities with that kind of attitude usually don't grow to the size facebook is.
The biden administration using backchannels to pressure social media instead of being transparent about it are the one to MAINLY criticize. Zuckerberg is just another businessman speaking in whatever press relases will be best at that moment, but obeyed people he kinda HAD to obey at the end of the day.
In general when the men with guns (here the law) speak, you listen
A poorly conceived and generic article. If he has a malignancy (if), it is greed not fear. And with that fact clear, the whole article makes no sense.
Bow fast and say yes to all demands of our new overlords is the new motto of Meta.
