Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t understand free speech in the 21st century
The article is right on that Zuckerberg when giving interviews doesn&#x27;t seem to be able to articulate what the company&#x27;s policies are, how they fit into legal frameworks, what the response would be if the model of the company was fundamentally broken, and so on.<p>This was really apparent in the interview he did with Yuval Noah Harari. When Harari asked him what would happen if &quot;connecting the world&quot; wasn&#x27;t actually a positive thing, Zuckerberg didn&#x27;t really have a coherent answer other then going on about how free expression is always great and how it&#x27;s in the American constitution or whatever.<p>That&#x27;s something that I&#x27;ve noticed when a lot of these CEOs are interviewed or when one reads their books. You expect to encounter some profound insight but it is surprising how shallow, uneducated and out of their depth these people are when it comes to placing their companies in some historical or political context. It&#x27;s like they&#x27;ve done nothing but trying to make money to the point where they&#x27;ve forgotten why they&#x27;re doing anything, a bunch of facile PR slogans aside. No self-awareness, no reflection, no ability to consider the broad impact of their behaviour. The most philosophical you&#x27;re going to get is likely a tract on the AI apocalypse.
