Now, Zuckerberg is making it crystal clear that Meta and MAGA can get along.
The social media giant is canning its fact-checkers and making its platforms look a little more like X, the site owned by “first buddy” Elon Musk.
Meta was one of several large tech companies to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund.
On Tuesday morning, Zuckerberg tapped the president-elect’s favorite TV channel, Fox News, to announce that the world’s dominant social media platforms are now, for all intents and purposes, pro-Trump.
“Social media is already a minefield for content that many brands deem unsafe, and Meta’s change could exacerbate those problems.”Even a slight dropoff in engagement could hurt the business, Enberg said.
