Zuckerberg to Work With Trump to Combat Global Censorship, Citing Secret Courts and Europe's Laws
Jan 7, 2025, 01:50 PM
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has announced plans to collaborate with President Donald Trump to counteract global efforts to censor American companies. This initiative comes as a response to increasing censorship pressures from governments worldwide, with specific mention of secret courts in Latin American countries that order content removal from social media platforms without public notice. Zuckerberg highlighted the strong constitutional protections for free speech in the United States, contrasting them with Europe's growing number of censorship laws that he claims hinder innovation. He also mentioned the challenges faced by American companies due to these international regulations, emphasizing the need for governmental support to push back against such trends.
