The primary indication of Mark Zuckerberg’s capitulation to the MAGA motion got here when he went to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort for Thanksgiving in December.

Nevertheless it appears geeks bearing presents wouldn’t be sufficient to placate a president-elect who as soon as threatened to jail the person he referred to as “Zuckerschmuck,” whom he accused of conspiring towards him within the 2020 election.

And Meta’s newest transfer to shift content material moderation on its platforms – Fb, Instagram and Threads – away from third-party fact-checking, won’t be its closing transfer to construct bridges with the incoming administration.

Why the change of tune? The plain reply is that Mark Zuckerberg is, before everything, a businessman.

The times of huge tech firms successfully doing what they like with out political interference are coming to an finish.

This 12 months Meta faces an antitrust trial and there are strikes to revise laws that successfully protects social media companies from legal responsibility for the content material they publish.

They, and Silicon Valley’s different tech titans, will want all the buddies they’ll get in Washington.

Little marvel Amazon and Open AI additionally despatched the president-elect $1m every in December.

However there could also be a private facet to it as properly.

Properly earlier than Mr Trump’s victory, Mark Zuckerberg had already ditched the gray hoodie for a gold chain and designer garments.

He and his spouse Dr Priscilla Chan, whose philanthropic organisations initially labored to help undocumented migrants, enhance entry to healthcare and scale back incarceration charges, have since reined in almost all such actions that could possibly be interpreted as politically partisan.

Both exhausted by or disillusioned with US politics, or – critics may say, wealthy sufficient to not care – Mr Zuckerberg was already sitting on the fence.

Altering its plans for content material moderation within the US might assist Meta’s fortunes there, however it might have the other impact in Europe.

The EU Digital Companies Act requires firms to do extra to fight disinformation and dangerous content material.

Meta is already dealing with a number of investigations within the EU and the UK’s On-line Security Act has comparable provisions as properly.

This explains why Meta is simply ending third-party fact-checking on its content material within the US, not elsewhere.

A incontrovertible fact that underscores, maybe greater than something, Mr Zuckerberg’s shift from his as soon as lofty beliefs to pragmatism and the risk even firms as highly effective as Meta see from the incoming president.
