Part 2/8:
This latest initiative from Zuckerberg comes on the heels of a significant admission regarding Meta's previous approaches to content moderation. In an effort to respond to political pressures, Zuckerberg conceded that the platform has been overly aggressive in censoring content, often to the detriment of free expression. Clegg emphasized this point while indicating that Meta takes down harmless content too often, which undermines its original objective to promote free speech. This acknowledgment has drawn mixed reactions, with many on the right considering it a victory for free speech while others remain skeptical of Zuckerberg’s motives, particularly given his company’s previous actions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
