Facebook’s Jewish CEO Mark Zuckerberg was interviewed by Fox News yesterday and he basically sided with Donald Trump on the Twitter fact-check situation.

Zuckerberg said that private companies should not be the arbiter of truth even though the social media sites he runs bans and censors people for their political views and opinions.

All he’s doing is trying to bamboozle people into believing that Facebook doesn’t censor people even though they have been censoring people for years.

Just recently, Facebook was shutting down groups protesting the unconstitutional lockdown orders.

So really what Zuckerberg is doing is just disagreeing with Twitter doing this specifically weird fact-check on Trump.

It really wasn’t a smart move by Twitter though. Of all the posts they could have fact-checked him on, this was not a good choice. Trump was speculating about what would happen if mail-in ballots were used across the country. He wasn’t stating anything as a matter of fact.

And obviously Twitter hasn’t bothered to fact-check posts put out by media outlets on the Russia hoax and any number of other lies and falsehoods they’ve promoted. So it makes the whole fact-check of Trump look really dumb.

Twitter’s CEO Jack Dorsey responded to Zuckerberg and the various criticism Twitter has received over their bizarre fact-checking of the Trump tweet.

Hey Jack, it isn’t your role to do any of this. Your role is simply to maintain a system that allows people to exchange information and ideas. That’s what a platform is supposed to be. You aren’t supposed to be tipping the scales. What you are doing is engaging in editorial decisions which makes you a publisher. This voids your status as a platform.

Here are some of the better responses to his gibberish.

Trump just posted another statement about this fiasco calling out Twitter for being wrong about their stupid fact-check.

Supposedly Trump is going to sign an executive order targeting Twitter and these big social media companies today. Of course I’m skeptical that it will do anything meaningful.

Really what needs to happen is that these companies need to regulated as public utilities sort of like how telephone service was regulated in the prior century. What these companies are doing is the equivalent of the phone company back in the 1960s refusing you service because of a political view you have. It’s absolute bullshit what they are doing.

If this is not part of the action that is taken today, than I doubt it will have any impact on the status-quo. We will see though. I don’t want to be overly pessimistic, but there’s honestly no reason to be optimistic. The Trump administration has just been a long series of disappointments.
