Maybe Mark Zuckerberg means it when he says he'sending DEI at Meta/Facebook. In addition to getting rid of partisan "fact checkers" he's ending the practice of putting female hygene products in mens rooms to cater to the "transgendered".

A baby step perhaps but a step nonetheless.

I have my doubts about all of it. Zuck's censorship went way beyond computer algorithms (which is what he blamed it on) and to actual decisions being made by the management of Facebook. Shadow banning,for instance, was common and I spent most of my time in that particular gulag when I was on Facebook. I heated arguments with Facebook editors about the way I was treated and they clearly thought they had every right to shadow-ban me because I was not "right thinking". Oh, and then there was "Zucker bucks" as the article mentions, where Zuckerberg spent big amounts to help Democrats steal 2020. He knew what they were doing and knew tho new machines he was giving away were being tampered with.

I suspect Zuckerberg is only doing this because he realizes he's in trouble with Trump 2.0, and because Facebook has been losing a lot of users such as myself who are moving elsewhere - to places like Truth Social and to X. He's got to fool people into coming back,and fool the Republicans into not breaking his empire into pieces via antitrust.

But who knows? Maybe the eternal juvenile is finally growing up, like Wendy in Peter Pan, he's finally realizing that you can't stay a child forever. Maybe.

(BTW Disney recreated Peter Pan in their own sappy image, and he was the unquestioned her of the movie, but the book was quite a bit different; Pan was in fact a villain, a happy villain but one of the bad guys in the novel. Notice the name Pan; Pan was one form of the god Dionysius, the god of wine and insanity, and Peter Pan represented the childish impulse to not grow or accept responsibility, and like worshippers of Pan he kept his accolytes enslaved in a perpetural pre-adolescent state. Peter Pan should be the symbol of the modern Left.)
