> They aren't explicit about it, but it's clear that pressure does not exist anymore

It's clear that the pressure comes now from the other side of the spectrum. Zuck already put Trumpists at various key positions.

> I think this is a big win for Meta, because it means people who care about the content being right will have to engage more with the Meta products to ensure their worldview is correctly represented.

It's a good point. They're also going to push more political contents, which should increase engagement (eventually frustrating users and advertisers?)

Either way, it's pretty clear that the company works with the power in place, which is extremely concerning (whether you're left or right leaning, and even more if you're not American).






Is it less concerning if Facebook only worked with one side of politics? How is reducing censorship a bad thing?

Who said anything about that?
