Carl Jackson discusses Meta's decision to end fact-checking partnerships, move moderation to Texas, and relax political content rules. He frames it as a free speech win but questions whether Zuckerberg is driven by genuine conviction or political calculation, and alleges the Biden administration pressured Meta to censor content.
Head tip, Daily Wire. Zuckerberg says Meta is restoring free speech. He'll get rid of the fact-checkers. So Zuckerberg announced yesterday that his company was implementing major changes to its censorship and fact-checking policies across all platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. By the way, follow me on Facebook and Instagram at The Carl Jackson Show, por favor. So he posted this video on Facebook, and he said that Meta would no longer work with independent fact-checkers. Now When he says independent fact-checkers, I wonder if he means some of the Chinese communists that were working there. I wonder. And restrictions on topics like gender and immigration and scale-back filters that censor people from innocuous posts. Zuckerberg said that Meta would focus on ensuring free expression, saying that the recent election seemed like a, quote, cultural tipping point. Now, I'm thankful. I don't want to beat up on the guy too bad because I'm thankful that he is doing this. And I hope he's having a come-to-Jesus moment, but I'm— I doubt it. But I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful, all right, that he's having a come-to-Jesus moment. You know, I'm kind of like, is this conviction or, or is this political expediency? I tend to believe this is political expediency, but again, I'll take it because free speech is so important. It is paramount in the United States. It's not like Sharia law where if you don't accept the the religion of the Islamists, then you're dead. All right, so that's, that's not what America is. In America, we have Judeo-Christian values, meaning we, meaning we adhere to biblical principles, but we also respect all life. We respect all religions, but we understand that they have to come under the umbrella of Judeo-Christian values in order for that to work. Otherwise, if you have Sharia law, if you have biblical values, it's not going to work, right? A bunch of agnostic values, it's simply not going to work. But the left understands this. I'm thankful that this guy's work of waking up— Zuckerberg has apparently seen the light, and now Meta is going to be a free speech zone— Facebook, Instagram, so on, etc. And hallelujah for that. I believe it's a little late, but I'll take it. I believe it's political expediency. I'll take it. The one thing that I do take comfort in is if there's an ounce of American DNA in anybody, they always thirst for freedom. Meta is going to be moving to Texas, he says. He says Meta's trust and safe and content moderation teams would move from California to Texas. The only thing that sucks about that, I don't know if you guys have ever read these stories, but oftentimes Even conservative organizations will move their companies out from liberal zones, liberal states like California, but a lot of their employees will continue voting Democrat. So make sure you just share with your employees, if they vote for Democrats, you'll fire them. Just kidding, sort of. So, and then also he says more political content will be allowed. But I want you to take note of this. Here's something that he said, or he noted, that the Biden administration pushed Meta to censor content. And of course, they came out with the Twitter Files, but the mainstream media did everything they could to try to ignore those. Thank God for Elon Musk, uh, and what, uh, what he's, uh, what he's doing. Here's something that, uh, Zuckerberg said too that I thought was profound, and I got to give him credit for. He did say, by going after us and other American companies, it has emboldened other governments to go even further. He might see the light.
