And in fact, the era of censorship on social media Yep. thought that that was a terrible way of responding to what was going on. I think the best way to fight misinformation is through more speech. And the way that it's been implemented on X is excellent. I think community notes is fantastic. So that's what Facebook wants to do. I think that's the right way to go about it.

Well, the people that were really promoted on your platform for a long time were individuals who were on the extreme left or the extreme right, especially when it comes to some of the cultural issues.

And so I think that's part of the reason why you now have two political parties that have a difficult time speaking to each other. And I'm not talking about those in power.
