Mark Zuckerberg Supreme Court Trial

Facebook is a multi-billion dollar company which has the power to control what they share through the site. The bias that Facebook has chosen is to censor conservative and right leaning thoughts. This is essentially taken away their freedom of speech on this platform. Facebook is believed to have an anti-conservative bias, but Zuckerberg claims that they’re working to take the bias out of the equation. Zuckerberg wants Facebook to be a platform for all ideas instead of censoring others. “I have a very specific definition of censorship. Censorship must be done by the government or it’s not censorship.” (Penn Jillette)
