Zuckerberg is positioning Facebook's stance as a bet that Trump winning a second term is at least somewhat likely. Why?
Google bet the farm on a Clinton win (Schmidt was on the campaign), and now they're staring down the barrel of infinite anti-trust investigations.
Amazon bet the farm on a Clinton win, and now they lost a giant cloud computing contract.
- josefresco 6y agoI think your analysis is a little over-simplified but I generally agree. Facebook is clearly betting on American conservatives retaining power given their "light handed" approach on political advertising. Progressive and even moderate politicians are calling for regulation or even a break-up which makes it in the best interest for Facebook to support conservatives. Regardless, if American conservatives lose some or most power in November, Facebook will simply move the dump truck full of cash to the other side and sadly things won't change.
