Shira Frenkel: 我认为扎克伯格最近在Joe Rogan节目上的言论以及他最近对Meta公司做出的种种改变,反映了他长期以来秉持的自由主义理念,即言论自由至上。这与Meta公司近年来减少女性员工和高管的现象形成鲜明对比,也与他对内容审核机制的调整,以及对多元化和包容性项目的取消相呼应。他似乎认为,过去几年里,在内容审核和社会责任方面,他承担了过多的责任,现在他决定回归最初的理念。然而,这种言论自由的绝对主义立场存在矛盾,因为他保留了关于反犹太主义的规定,却取消了其他方面的保护措施。这表明他的立场并非完全基于原则,而是受到个人偏好和政治因素的影响。此外,Meta最近的裁员也可能与打压批评公司政策的员工有关,进一步巩固了他对公司内部的控制。 总而言之,我认为扎克伯格的转变并非简单的策略调整,而是他个人信念和政治现实的综合体现。他似乎在寻求一种新的平衡,在言论自由和社会责任之间寻找一个他认为更合适的位置。但是,这种转变可能会对Meta平台的内容生态和用户体验产生深远的影响,甚至可能导致更多极端内容的出现。 Lizzie O'Leary: 扎克伯格最近对Meta的运营方式进行了重大调整,最重要的是取消了内容审核机制,包括事实核查项目和一些自动化的有害信息识别程序。他将这些改变归咎于他认为有偏见的媒体和政治压力。然而,这些改变引发了广泛的担忧,因为它们可能导致平台上出现更多虚假信息和仇恨言论。此外,他取消了Meta的包容性和多元化项目,并允许发布对LGBTQ群体具有贬损性质的内容。这些举动与他之前在国会听证会上表现出的谨慎态度形成鲜明对比,也反映了他对“觉醒政治”的负面看法。 总的来说,扎克伯格的转变反映了他对公司未来发展方向的重新思考,以及他对政治环境和公众舆论的回应。然而,这些改变的长期影响尚不明朗,可能会对Meta的声誉和用户体验产生重大影响。
