Ian HaworthFacebook’s expected announcement that they will be ending their policy of “special” protections for politicians on their platform indicates that Facebook — whose CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is one of the few high-profile figures in the tech world who has vocally argued in favor of free speech — is caving to the Left’s increasingly aggressive censorship demands.
Looking back at 2019, the Facebook CEO sparked outrage among Democrats when he dared to argue in favor of “free expression.” Flying in the face of leftists who saw Facebook as a tool that should either be wielded in the pursuit of “progressivism” — i.e. the censorship of conservative thought — or suppressed entirely, Facebook announced an almost unprecedented policy for politicians in the world of social media.
