The issue is not necessarily the policy changes by themselves but rather the context in which they are occuring, the very suspicious timing, which makes it look like Zuck is simply catering to the newly elected President. That's the opposite of "free speech" and eliminating bias.
And the notion suggested by Zuck that Texas is somehow less biased than California is ridiculous. Perhaps if he had suggested a swing state like Wisconsin, for example (which happens to have some empty space available where a Foxconn factory was never built).

- Yoric 2y agoYes, corporate America is bending the knee and paying for the coronation of Trump and/or Musk. Another reminder that we may end up, occasionally, on the same side as corporate America, but that their reason to be is profit, not some moral cause, no matter how they're painting it. That being said, if I were Zuck or Dorsey, I'd hate to have been involuntarily made arbiter of proper communication, and I'd jump on the first opportunity to pass the responsibility to whoever is willing to take it.

- k2xl 2y agoHe isnt saying texas is less bias, but from public perception perspective, california is biased.
- lapcat 2y agoHe is literally saying that Texas is less biased: "Fifth, we're going to move out trust and safety and account moderation teams out of California, and our U.S.-based content review is going to be based in Texas. As we work to promote free expression, I think that will help us build trust to do this work in places where there's less concern about the bias of our teams. Finally, we're going to work with President Trump..."
