Hugh Hewitt's Interview of Mark Zuckerberg
Here's a part of that interview discussing Facebook's 20 member "Oversight Board":
Hugh Hewitt: The most piercing criticism I’ve heard, and I’m not really much on content moderation, I’m much more libertarian than most, is that of the 20 members, 15 are not Americans. Of the 5, only one is an originalist. I know Judge McConnell, but he’ll get rolled by 19 people. And do we really want 15 foreigners moderating content about American political discourse? In other words, how in the world did we end up, it’s almost like a new Coke moment. How did you with your commitment at Georgetown, and even on Monday at the European speech, how did you end up with a group that most sort of free speech absolutists like me say "oh, my gosh, that’s not a free speech group, that’s a bureaucracy like the EU"?
Mark Zuckerberg: Well, I think we’re going to have to see how it, and I think it’ll build its credibility over time through the decisions it makes.
So of the 20 members of Facebook's "Oversight Board", 15 are not Americans, and of the 5 Americans, only 1 might be considered an "originalist" (conservative). That doesn't sound like a group that wants to Make America Great Again. Is it any surprise that they've banned President Trump?
I have to say that makes me feel a lot better about being banned by Jack and Davis. After all, I've been working to Make Hang Gliding Great Again.
