Mark Zuckerberg promises not to censor anymore will he make up for punishing truth tellers before?

Two weeks before the inauguration of Donald Trump — a man who has vowed to dismantle and destroy the Censorship-Industrial Complex that silenced him and millions of other Americans — one of the figures most responsible for the censorship regime delivered a message.Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that his company had engaged in “too much censorship,” and declared that with the “cultural tipping point” of recent elections, his platforms would now be undertaking efforts to “restore free expression.”But has the tech titan really seen the light on free speech, and will Meta truly overhaul itself accordingly?Or is this a cynical and self-interested attempt to beg for forgiveness/pay for protection with shifting political winds, leading to cosmetic and temporary reforms?Prudence demands that we distrust and verify.Remember, Meta used internal tools to suppress traffic to conservative content after the 2016 election.It censored The New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story.It participated in the fed-led Election Integrity Partnership, responsible for purging wrongthink about election integrity and outcomes during the 2020 election.It booted Trump from the platform for two years after January 6 — reinstating his accounts only with “heightened penalties for repeat offenses.”It purged dissent from COVID-ian orthodoxy en masse.The consequences have been incalculable for the individuals, activists, and journalists silenced and the body politic itself.Are those who have had their rights violated when Meta acted as the feds’ deputized speech police just supposed to accept this 180?What about the outlets who lost traffic and saw their business models imperiled?And how about the American public at large that lost out on critical news and views that could have swung the 2020 election — allowing us to avoid the disasters of the last four years — or led to pandemic mitigation measures that would have protected our liberty and preserved our prosperity rat...
