Zuck still wants platforms to control the judgement and censorship of content. I agree this content should be the responsibility and liability of every so-called “platform” that wants to profit off our communication as people — but an ideal platform should NOT be censored at the network level. I want to live in a world where Facebook the company can’t be blamed for people voting one way or another, and I think this is most possible in a world where our most popular communication platform is not a for-profit corporation. Content consumers should have full control over self-censorship and there should be no other interference (parents would control what children access). Maybe Mastodon is taking us in the right direction. We need the tools and literacy discover, judge, and trust content ourselves. Taking that responsibility away from individuals also takes that power away from us. Zuck is right that we need new rules — rules that prevent orgs like Facebook from taking over the internet, not rules that entrench Facebook as our manager of internet content.
