"There's been widespread debate about potential harms from online content. Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor more and more," Zuckerberg said. "A lot of this is clearly political," he acknowledged.
In building more complex systems to moderate content. from terrorism to child exploitation, Zuckerberg says their complex systems "accidentally censored" posts. "That's millions of people, and we've reached a point where it's just too many mistakes in too much censorship."
"The recent elections also feel like a cultural tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech."

David Heinze commented 2025-01-08 10:13:36 -0500So it appears that while my Rebel article post is there and I can see it, it is blocked for other Canadians. Claiming it is being blocked by the Canadian government. We know of course that Facebook is doing the blocking.

LIllian Kelly commented 2025-01-07 22:04:39 -0500I do not believe nor trust Mark Zuckerberg.
I will believe it when I see it consistently for a long long time.
Getting rid of the gender stuff etc. I am very glad to hear that. Perhaps there is a return to sanity.
How can this man be trusted when he has implemented these sickening and insane policies in the past. -
David Heinze commented 2025-01-07 22:02:15 -0500My first thought was I will believe it when I see it. So an hour ago I posted a Rebel article by Tamara. Well it posted and so far is still there. Let’s see how long it stays up.
I will continue to share independent media posts if I can get away with it. Keep fighting for Freedom. -
Ruth Bard commented 2025-01-07 21:35:12 -0500Zuck knows which side his bread is buttered on. He feels the wind changing, so he’s cranking the wheel over. If it changes back, he’ll revert.

Don Hrehirchek commented 2025-01-07 20:48:40 -0500I guess we are not adult enough to censor what We are to censor. This is the way government wants us to be . Just lapdogs. Free speech is one of the many legs of freedom.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-01-07 20:45:04 -0500We freedom-loving folks won this battle but the war goes on and on. Be sure that the left will regroup and attack our liberties again. Once people forget what happened, and they will, the loathsome left will rear its ugly head and head its ugly rear. Never ever stop fighting for freedom!
