I see this very differently than you. Zuckerberg actually said Facebook is responsible for its contents.

I’ve heard he is supposed to be very intelligent too. I have to question it if he actually said this. Something tells me that he only said it in order to help legitimize the systemic censorship that I’ve been hearing has been coming down the pike from Youtube and Facebook recently, but if you switch yourself from being a service provider of content to being considered a publisher and be held responsible for all of your content created by billions of members, that’s untenable. Actual publishers in the media have editorial staff who are responsible for vetting their content.

I get what you guys are saying. This guy can’t have it both ways. I just think that he is picking the wrong one if he wants to say they are going to be responsible for it all

I agree with you. He shouldn’t have said it, especially since he’s such a genius. But he put it out there, whether he realized the possible ramifications of making such a proclamation or not. I do tend to believe the little boy in the booster seat only said it as a means to defend the obvious censorship his employees were regularly participating in. Not a smart move. I also don’t think it was a means to a regulatory end. I believe his ego sent him there without legal representation.
