I see everybody commenting on the substance of the post: which is good. Seeing the post as a stand-alone, almost ahistorical, statement. But I'm wondering the strategic part, the this-moment-in-politics, may be part of why we're seeing this now, too. For a while Trump seemed pretty indestructible. FaceBook could hover in between Trump and his opposition, stick to the middle ground. Now it looks like Trump is down by some pretty serious digits, and Biden is up. This would be the right time to maneuver for a Biden Presidency, before it looks obviously self-serving. By doing this now, if Trump loses, FaceBook will be closer to the post-Trump middle. It's certainly better than being stranded with a bunch of terrible alt-right press and Congressional investigations, with Trump unable to offer any governmental protection. While you never know - Trump could win! - the Trump-is-leaving-so-prepare-for-post-Trump-times scenario is looking more probable by the day. For the average person, "who knows" and "anything could happen" may be good enough. It isn't for megacorps. So when the betting odds change, they change with them. Remember, Zuckerberg is a guy who bet big on Insta as the future beyond FaceBook, 6-10 years into the future. It only makes sense that he'd seriously think about 4 months into the future, to consider the impact on his business. And adjust accordingly.
