  • @samveep Sam on bluesky

    To understand how cynical Zuck is: he's accusing Biden of targeting Meta for political reasons, which he knows is exactly what *Trump* has publicly done. Trump threatened to *imprison* Zuckerberg. But he goes on Rogan to complain about Biden, not Trump, to his new MAGA fans.

    Joe Rogan Experience #2255 - Mark Zuckerberg
  • @trenchdiggr @trenchdiggr on bluesky
    Wow.  Just wow.  Zuck labeling as Orwellian efforts to *stop* the spread of misinformation.  That is just, what's a good term, perhaps “meta-Orwellian”?

  • @benedictevans Benedict Evans on threads
    One thing completely missing from Meta's comms on moderation: how will it now deal with bullying and harassment?  It's one thing to say things to your own followers about a certain group, and another to seek them out and spam their comments and mentions with abuse, or organise gr…

    Perpetual softball tosser Rogan “interviews” Zuckerberg, who lies and lies and lies with no pushback.  This is how media work in 2025.  —  https://www.theverge.com/2025/1/10/ 24341117/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-joe- rogan-lies
  • @benwhitelaw Ben Whitelaw on bluesky
    The Rogan interview is further proof that Meta and Zuckerberg are just vessels for other people's values and ideas.  There is no ‘going back to its roots’ because the company doesn't stand for anything www.theverge.com/2025/1/10/24...

    @AutismCapital Senator Warren is far more trustworthy than zuckerberg. I remember the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the issues surrounding the Myanmay genocide in 2917, & the 2019 security breach. The C in CFPB is for consumer.
  • @torbettwa Chandler Torbett on x
    If Zuckerberg (@finkd) doesn't know what the CFPB is, then @Meta needs better lawyers.
  • @itgetstickytv @itgetstickytv on x
    On Rogan, Zuckerberg says he doesn't know what the CFPB is or why it's investigating Meta. The truth is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau defends people from corporate abuse. Meta has been accused of illegally using people's financial data in its ad business. [video]
  • @drmistercody Cody Johnston on x
    Cute that Rogan hears Zuckerberg mention the CFPB and Elizabeth Warren, then says, “Oh the debanking!” because of his stupid Andreessen interview, despite him being immediately proven wrong because literally the opposite is true. Rogan, man of the people/billionaire-launderer.
  • @matthewstoller Matt Stoller on x
    Mark Zuckerberg attacks the CFPB for looking at Facebook, pretending he doesn't know what the bank regulator does and pretending that Facebook hasn't been a major player in payments for 10+ years. https://www.youtube.com/...
  • @bostonbybirth Jonathan Bowen on x
    @SenWarren Why did you target Mark Zuckerberg through the CFPB?
  • @syrneus Andrew Kenney on x
    Grok seems to think that Zuckerberg's CFPB commentary is disingenuous and deflecting and I agree. The CFPB has done great things for American consumers and Meta's various financial apps and marketplaces definitely merit oversight https://x.com/...
  • @jason_kint Jason Kint on x
    The Zuckerberg arrogance in this clip. @joerogan wouldn't have any idea CFPB was run by @chopracfpb (FTC Commissioner when FB paid $5+ to try to make massive data scandal and personal liability for Mark go away). Board and Mark currently being deposed in Delaware about this.
  • @autismcapital @autismcapital on x
    🚨ZUCK: We had organizations looking into us that weren't even involved in Social Media. We had the CFPB looking after us. I didn't even know what that is. It's some financial institution that Elizabeth Warren set up. We're not a bank, what does Meta have to do with this? They [vi…

    Just watched the Joe Rogan-Mark Zuckerberg podcast, and @joerogan is being LIED to and is misinformed about the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). Marc Andreessen (a JRE podcast guest from a few weeks ago) was incorrect when he told Joe the CFPB debanks people- in [imag…
  • @megankstack Megan K. Stack on x
    Not long after Marc Andreesen (also on Rogan) claimed the CFPB de-banked him for his politics, Zuckerberg also claims he was victimized by the CFPB (a consumer protection body) and depicts efforts to protect the public from tech excesses as an attack on American businesses. 🤔
  • @arachno_commie @arachno_commie on x
    Mark Zuckerberg is lying and acting ignorant because he thinks so poorly of the new maga base that he's trying to appeal to. Of course he knows what the CFPB is. He just knows that Rogan's listeners don't and wants to make them feel validated for their ignorance.

    Joe Rogan says that the government wants to continue “the patterns of behavior they've always exhibited, to have control of the media. There have been CIA agents inside major newspapers forever.” What is he talking about?

    Dude who spent 12 hours testifying to Congress while his company was embroiled in the most high-profile data privacy scandal of the 21st century: “I don't know what the CFPB is or why it relates to social media companies.”
  • @chrismurphyct Chris Murphy on x
    Mark's basic argument: America can only win when Facebook is unregulated and can addict as many kids and cause as much social harm as possible. This is a person who either has no idea how much destruction his technology has caused or he knows and pretends not to know.
  • @jeremyslevin Jeremy Slevin on x
    This may sound crazy but what if the FTC is trying to stop Facebook from illegally monetizing children's data because Facebook illegally monetizes children's data
