Mark Zuckerberg wants government to control speech on Facebook

President Trump has said that he is “monitoring the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms,” a not-so-subtle threat that government may one day impose its own standards for content moderation on private companies. Trump has an unlikely ally: Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., also thinks the feds should regulate Facebook and other social media companies, going so far as to call for a break-up of the Big Tech companies.

Shockingly, another prominent supporter of government regulation of speech on Facebook is Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg has bemoaned the “immense responsibilities” his company has as a major internet platform. He wants the government to take those responsibilities off his hands.
