'Mark Zuckerberg is a layperson on the subject of free speech'
You don't see the problem with that statement?
He's the major head of one of the largest communications networks on the planet. His opinion is one of the most important to sway for those of us that have any opinion, for OR against, freedom of speech.
His ignorance on the topic is pretty unforgivable, given the intrinsic nature of the business he runs and moderates.
Personally I tend to think that it's political double-talk rather than ignorance. He's just trying to space his answers away from any 'hard' questions so as to maintain a more vague (and politically enticing) persona.
- bko 7y agoI think he would have more of a formed opinion on this topic than an armchair professor of media studies. He actually has to make real decisions and run one of the largest organizations in the world which he helped build. His decisions impact billions of people on this earth. You may not like or agree with his decisions but to say he's somehow a layperson on this topic is just wrong. Facebook has to implement these policies across 150 different countries while some professor on media can write a snarky article with no substance and make the brilliant observation that some people aren't honest about their online persona and use it to trick people.
