Los Angeles Times’ Queen Won
Before Donald Trump kicked off the second term as the president, Mark Zuckerberg, the highest executive of meta platform, made another big swing on a hit reset.
In a very popular pod caster and Trump’s supporter Joe Logan, Zuckerberg stops using a fact checker to fight incorrect information. We talked about the decision of the giant. Instead, the user is left to be suppressed by each other.
Zuckerberg accuses the media and retirement, and when the Biden official shouts to social network workers during the pandemic, the government has reduced the incorrect information about COVID-19 vaccine. I mentioned.
Logan has millions of listeners, but the message that it is a new day in Zuckerberg’s meta has already arrived to those who are probably the most concerned. A few days before the podcast was broadcast, Trump commented that he was satisfied with the change of meta. He said the company, “I’ve been on a long way.”
Certainly a long road.
The appearance of the podcast was the latest twist of the re -branding exercise of a company’s re -branding by one of the most influential people in the high -tech industry. This is a pervert that has accelerated in recent months as a Zuckerberg that started a fact check program after the victory in Trump’s first election and challenged him on controversial issues such as immigrants. I noticed that I was facing.
Meta promotes the Republican Joel Kaplan to lead the global policy, donates $ 1 million to Trump’s first fund, has changed content moderation, and develops its diversity and comprehensive initiatives. I did. Dana Hoiru, the best executive officer of Trump’s close allies and the ultimate fighting championship, participated in the Meta Board of Directors.
Zuckerberg is not the only technical leader who is trying to soothe Trump to lead the development of artificial intelligence technology that can redefine media and other industries by competing with meta. Knowing that Trump will help or hinder their efforts, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Open Arai’s Sam Altman, Tesla’s Sea Eelon Musk. He spent more than $ 200 million in Trump’s re -election campaign, but was in the way to secure the president’s location. Good grace.
“It’s a decisive victory, and when I’m in the room with someone who has an influence like Eron, I have a mark, I’m at the hell. I want to confirm, “said Katie Harvus. He is a Facebook technology consulting company and the highest executive officer of Anchor Change, a former public policy director.
The high stakes jockey has become even more prominent after launching the AI Assistant, which claimed that China’s technical startup Deepseek was developed at lower cost than US rivals.
Zuckerberg said in 2025 that an assistant who could answer questions would provide more than 1 billion assistants to generate images. Social media giants are planning to invest up to $ 65 billion and increase the AI team. A large data center, he said in Facebook post.
The White House did not respond to the comment request. In Rogan Podcasts and other places, Zuckerberg states that META’s fact check policy has been changed to promote user free expressions and reduce content modern errors. The company refused to comment further.
Applying for a split card does not mean that there is no risk. Some advertisers have the potential to make brands appearing with false or aggressive content, and the possibility of doing business with companies that are recognized as neglecting accuracy and online safety. You may do it.
However, analysts say that more than 3 billion people use one of the apps every day, which is likely to be ignored to hit social media giant advertising business.
Jasmine Enberg, vice president and principal analyst of EMARKETER, covering social media, said: 。
Trump and Zuckerberg have been turning with each other for years.
In 2016, Before Trump’s first president’s term, Zuckerberg created a jab in a thin veil in Trump.
“I hear a terrible voice calling for the walls and the people who label as others as others,” he said at the Facebook Developer Council that year.
Later, Trump won the presidential position and won a surprising technical leader who supported his democratic rival Hillary Clinton. In order to abandon a cold relationship with politicians, Facebook’s highest duties at the time, Sheryl Sandberg, Mask, Bezos, Apple’s Supreme Executive Officer Tim Cook, and other famous executives.・ I attended a very published meeting at the tower.
Dente had not lasted long, as Trump tried to ban travelers from Muslim countries and illegally started crackdown on national immigrants. Zuckerberg, who co -founded a political behavior group focusing on immigrants called FWd.us, shared concerns with social media in 2017 and said, “There are many unusual people who have not been threatened. I will live with fear of expulsion. ” “
That year, Zuckerberg caused rumors to tour the United States and to run for the president.
Facebook has put pressure on online to do more online, but has begun a fact confirmation program in 2016, claiming that it is not a “truth arbitrator.” Discriminate Republican/conservative voices. “
Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter have stopped the Republican member in 2021 in 2021, as Trump’s remarks caused more violence after attacking the US Council on January 6th. 。
“His decision to accept using his platform did not blame his supporters in the parliamentary building, but quickly disturbed the United States and the people around the world,” Zuckerberg post. I mentioned.
That year, Zuckerberg registered as a Democratic member after not specifying the party’s preference before, according to voter registrants in Santa Clara County. Tech Mogul once described himself as a “knowledge economy” and donated to both Republican members and the Democratic Party, indicating OpenSecrets data.
After he became a boot from Facebook, Trump appealed to a social network, created his own social network, where he mentioned Zuckerberg many times as “Zuckerbucks”. Business leaders have accused the election.
In the book “Save America” in 2024, Trump said Zuckerberg said that if he did “illegal things” to affect the presidential election in 2024, he would “spend the remaining life in prison.”
The first sign of the Meta’s future course was when Trump was grazed in a bullet during the assassination attempt during the campaign speech. Zuckerberg in July, Trump tricks his face to Bloomberg in July, “It’s difficult to have a kind of emotion in the spirit and the battle as an American”, so Trump’s fist He said he saw it in the air rebelliously.
Zuckerberg did not support the President of Biden or Trump.
After Trump’s victory, a 40 -year -old billionaire announced in a January video that Meta would end a third party check program with the publisher. Instead, the company uses the approach adopted by the previous Twitter X. In this approach, the user volunteers to write a “community note” under misleading posts.
Zuckerberg, who reflects the rhetoric from Trump and his supporters, says “too many censorship,” he says in cooperation with the President to “pursue American companies and push the government around the world that promotes more censorship. I want that.
“The checker is politically biased, and has destroyed more trust, especially in the United States,” he said.
Meta’s fact confirmation partner opposed the bias claim.
“We are checking all aspects, regardless of where the political spectrum is, and the co -founder and editor -in -chief of the Site Lead Story to confirm the facts, Aranduk, the editor -in -chief. Is described as follows.
Meta has also made other changes. The bar that deletes content from the site is much higher than before. The decision -making organization has changed policies for hatred acts to “allow claims for mental illness and abnormalities based on gender and sexual orientation.”
Wall Street Journal is also considering reconstructing a company from Delaware State to Texas and other states that may have a more advantageous legal landscape. Reported. Meta’s spokeswoman refused to confirm the report, but said, “There is no plan to move the headquarters from California.”
Changes occur because the meta is rapidly increasing financially. In 2024, the company reported on Wednesday that meta’s revenue was $ 164.5 billion, an increase of 22 % compared to 2023. Last year’s social media giant net income increased by 59 % to $ 62.36 billion. On Friday, the shares slightly higher than $ 689 have increased by more than 76 % in the last 12 months.
In the call of the company’s quarterly revenue, Zuckerberg once again praised Trump.
“We are now proud of our major companies, giving priority to American technology victory and have US governments that protect their value and profits.
