Mark Zuckerberg defends Facebook censorship despite Charlie Hebdo support
- Paris attack was to support freedom of expression but sees ‘tricky calculus’ in countries where that’s restricted
- It wasn’t just a terrorist attack about just trying to do some damage and make people afraid and hurt people.
- This was specifically about people’s freedom of expression and ability to say what they want,” said Zuckerberg.
In this article it outlines that mark zuckerburg has recently commended the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris due to freedom of speech issues yet his won website actively censors content to its liking. The promise of new and digital media being an egalitarian and unbiased platform is being diminished by many large incumbent firms such as Facebook that were present at its dawn and are slowly but surely becoming big powers in influencing the content and opinion online as highlighted by the above article.This article expresses clear marxism and porteo’s law in action as the firms move from the 80% to the 20% and start to impose and enforce what they believe is right and true and do not allow the people to create their own opinion as they recognise they have a large influence in constructing other opinions.
