This is very important to listen to. It’s brilliant and I agree 100%.

It’s 2nd-rate TED-talk fare Marianne. Begs all the real questions. The internet is a US governmental asset that was handed over to private individuals for a song. Social media sites are quasi-public forums. Expression & reputation protection laws must be adapted per his third pt.

After 12 years of being on FB as a dog rescuer, grandma with a FarmTown game, they dismantled my account for sharing true information about trump to people who were writing nasty messages to Nancy Pelosi.

It’s not FB’s fault, it’s ours. The only way to hold Zuckerberg accountable for the hate speech, trolls, Holocaust deniers, etc. is for us to quit FB. The power is in the hands of the consumer.

Right, because our other options for em parting the truth are so reliable. Mainstream media is no more a bastion of truth than social media, politicians or their allies that spin everything.

It's almost like greedy tech companies run by soulless scumbags who exist only to make money couldn't care less about what they publish so long as the users continue to pay-to-play Farmville for five hours per day.

I think freedom of speech should take priority. But ive read facebook has an algorithm, which ive read cant allow for a truly neutral platform. & facebook isnt a public utility, its privately owned, which is another problem with enforcing codes of conduct in communication.

I Absolutely agree! It’s time to reign it in and hush the voices of desensitized and immoral hateful targeting.
