After Trump threatened him with “life in prison,” Mark Zuckerberg has cozied up to him and reportedly allowed militia groups to organize on Facebook.
Reminder that when billionaires control platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
@InfoMgmtExec @rbreich It's all very macho and everything but have you actually thought about what it would be like to draw the direct and personal animosity of a Trump with all the power of POTUS with complete legal immunity if he sends the military to assassinate you.
Supposedly a good half of the people who you'd be sacrificing your life for would cheer your demise--almost none would give a shit other than intellectually. You would change nothing.
You got the faith for that? Cool. Me: v0v

Hmm.
1. That's a reason to try and keep a fascist out of power, not pander to him.
2. If he gets into power, he won't be loyal to someone who bends the knee to his threats, he'll still probably throw them under a bus first time it's convenient.
It's just a simpler and more credible explanation that fascism isn't a problem for a billionaire.
