    Did he provide any evidence of this? I can’t find anything other than him just saying so. The court even found the republican case against this had provided no good evidence.

    Can you link me to something other than “media oligarch says previous administration bad as new administration, who has leveled public threats against the media, prepares to take office.”

      Well, considering he’s a CEO saying this while overseeing a staff of thousands, it would be pretty ridiculous for him to lie. Other staff members have backed him up too.

      I’m pretty sure lying about something like this could get him in serious trouble, so yes, I believe he has plenty of evidence.

      And honestly, I think he’s telling the truth. That said, Facebook is a mess, and I’m no fan of Zuckerberg.

      But dude, I think he’s being honest. If you don’t want to accept it, that’s fine. That’s your right.

        You can go ahead and believe the oligarch without evidence. Also, he can say these things without getting into actual trouble. Making a case against him over these statements, towards public figures, would be next to impossible. I have no doubt the biden admin pushed for more control over things like covid information. However, this is very conveniently timed to discard the previous admin, and kiss the ring of the incoming one, you know, the one that has been openly threatening people like Zuck.

        I need more than the word of a corrupt megacorp billionaire.

          Thanks. I will. And YOU can go ahead and belive the Democratic Oligarch without evidence.

          kiss the ring of the incoming one

          Of course he’s doing that. He kisses the ass of whoever’s in charge. I think he’s an obnoxious little prick. But I also think the Biden admin 100 percent tried to censor things.

          I also think that many Lemmy admins and mods tried to censor things. And the media. It’s all bullshit, regardless of the political side you’re on.

            Difference is, I am not believing the Biden admin. Zuck made the claim something happened, Zuck has to provide proof that thing happened. This is the burden of proof. So you are believing a claim without evidence, I am holding judgement until I get some. The fact that you do not understand this calls your critical thinking skills, at least on this subject, into question.

              It’s a fucking interview for an article. There is no “burden of proof.” It’s not a court case. lmao

                “I believe what this guys claims”

                “I need some proof to believe him personally”

                “You need proof to believe a claim? This isn’t as court of law. Your critical thinking skills suck if you don’t understand this is just a baseless accusation I want to believe.”

                  Dude, it’s a news article. Not a court disposition. Calm your tits.

                  I belive him. You don’t. It’s ok to have a different opinion. Thanks!

                    It is also ok to ask for proof, and challenge people’s statements, is it not? Cause this is some big “It was only a joke, you take things too seriously” energy. If you don’t want people to express their opinions, about your opinions, you need to not make them public.
