“So, to the extent that #liberalism is undermined, it is not just because of #Trump (…) Many #Americans want #autocratic leadership or fear standing up to an #authoritarian leader, which is a hard pill to swallow. Maybe we are not as exceptional as we think.”
No sh*t.

"Meta’s president of global affairs, Nick Clegg, agreed with Miller. Clegg said in a recent press call that Zuckerberg wanted to play an “active role” in the administration’s tech policy decisions and wanted to participate in “the debate that any administration needs to have about maintaining America’s leadership in the technological sphere,” particularly on artificial intelligence. Meta declined to provide further comment.
The weeks since the election have seen something of a give-and-take developing between Trump and Zuckerberg, who previously banned the president-elect from Instagram and Facebook for using the platforms to incite political violence on 6 January 2021. In a move that appears in deference to Trump – who has long accused Meta of censoring conservative views – the company now says its content moderation has at times been too heavy-handed.
Clegg said hindsight showed that Meta “overdid it a bit” in removing content during the Covid-19 pandemic, which Zuckerberg recently blamed on pressure from the Biden administration."

A friend asked me how my life has changed since the Internet and social media. And I thought... I used to sit in a bar drinking coffee and talking and arguing with doctors, musicians and engineers. And now I argue with fictional characters on the Internet. It doesn't seem to have improved so much.

"Compared with trustworthy news sources, posts from misinformation sources evoked more angry reactions and outrage than happy or sad sentiments. Users were motivated to reshare content that evoked outrage and shared it without reading it first to discern accuracy. …"

The Platform That Restored My Love for Social Media. I cannot agree more. It's a gem and I'm kind of happy most people are sheeple and reluctant to switch to it.
