was to air it out rather than to chase it into the shadows. And so Zuckerberg, who is Jewish, famously for many, many years, permitted Holocaust denial on the platforms. And, you know, I think probably some degree of anti-Semitism directed his own way because he felt like this is just sort of how we do things in this country.

It is going to take us some time to understand not just what the new policies are, although we do know a lot about that now, but also how they are enforced.

It is going to take us some time to understand what the effect of that is. Does bad stuff on these platforms continue to get reported and removed if it needs to be?

Or maybe stuff gets reported but doesn't get taken down. So there are still many, many swirling questions.
