Remember Zuck wanted to run for president not that long ago. He wants to sit at the table and to do that he absolutely has to pick a side. How to do that and still pretend it’s in the interest of shareholders is what we’re kinda witnessing now.

This is absolutely false. There has never been any evidence for this whatsoever, and it is a good example of a falsehood becoming true in the media by constant repetition.

If by this day, 40 years from now, Zuck hasn't at least launched an exploratory committee for a presidential run, I would be extremely surprised. If this were reddit, I'd promise to do something like eat an insect or a shoe or something.

This is the same man who tried to suck up to the PRC by asking Xi Jinping to name his daughter. If he actually tried to run for POTUS, it would be a shitshow.

He has a seat in that table anyway, a front one. And even if he bans paid advertising, it is going to happen nevertheless through normal user posts. And if what you say is true, he should do the bidding of democrats and ban them.
