Zuckerberg comes to the realization that censorship has gone ‘too far’

Mark Zuckerberg comes to the realization that attempts to censor misinformation and hate speech have gone “too far.”

“If it’s okay to say on the floor of Congress, you should probably be able to debate it on social media.”

Zuckerberg used Pete Hegseth’s argument that women shouldn’t serve in certain combat roles as an example of how things went off track.

He explained, “Until we updated our policies, that wouldn’t have been a thing that you could have said on our platforms because it would call for the exclusion of a protected category of people.”

This led him to question why social media platforms should block discussions that are openly allowed in Congress. “If it’s okay to say on the floor of Congress, you should probably be able to debate it on social media.”
