Zuckerberg admits modern censorship is driven by ideology rather than a commitment to the truth

Mark Zuckerberg admits to Joe Rogan that modern censorship efforts are driven by ideology rather than a commitment to the truth.

• Zuckerberg said censorship efforts took off after Trump’s election and Brexit, fueled by politics.

• He admitted buying into media claims that misinformation was the only reason Trump won.

• He recalled how fact-checking quickly shifted from debunking things like flat Earth to politically charged topics.

• He openly questioned Facebook’s role as the “truth decider” for billions, calling it a dangerous and ideological position to take.

“I kind of think after having gone through that whole exercise it’s something out of 1984, one of these books where it really is a slippery slope,” Zuckerberg said.
