Free Speech is a Human Right

Mark Zuckerberg dined with President-Elect Donald Trump on Wednesday evening at Mar-a-Lago.
 
It’s an important time for the future of American Innovation. Mark was grateful for the invitation to join President Trump for dinner and the opportunity to meet with members of his team about the incoming Administration,” a Meta spokesperson said in a statement provided to the New York Post.

Based on the comments made by Srephen Miller, the incoming White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, it seemed to be an agreeable evening for both men.

Mark Zuckerberg has been very clear about his desire to be a supporter of and a partnership in this change that we’re seeing all around America, all around the world, with this reform movement that Donald Trump is leading,” Miller said.

While it was not mentioned in any statement released to the press, there had to be discussions involving past censorship issues practiced by Facebook and other Meta properties against conservatives. Hopefully, it was "message received" by Zuckerberg.

As one who has felt the pain of posts being taken down, I think it is time for Facebook to scrap its algorithms and permit free speech again. After all, Facebook is a platform, like X, and not a publisher.

People have the ability to hit the delete button if they are offended. No need for Mark Zuckerberg to be Big Brother.

As well we know, free speech is not only an American Right, it is a Human Right, too!
