Why Mark Zuckerberg wants to end the smartphone era

I think we can get this, build out the discussion platform in a way that can get to a billion people and be more of a ubiquitous social platform that I think achieves its full potential. But our version of this is we want it to be a kinder place. We don't want it to start with kind of the direct kind of head-to-head combat of news and especially politics. And

Yeah, well, we're not the only company. There are a ton of different competitors and different companies doing things. And I think that there's a talented team over at Twitter and X and I wouldn't write them off. And then obviously there's all these other folks, there's a lot of startups that are doing stuff. So I don't feel like we have to go at that first.

I think that maybe we get there over time or maybe we decide that it's enough of a zero sum trade or maybe even a negative sum trade where like that use case should exist somewhere, but maybe that use case prevents a lot more usage and kind of a lot more value in other places because it makes it a somewhat less friendly place.

I don't think we know the answer to that yet, but I do think the last 10 years eight years of our experience has been that the political discourse, it's tricky, right? It's on the one hand, it's obviously a very important thing in society. And on the other hand, I don't think it leaves people feeling good. So I'm torn between these two values.

On the one hand, I think like people should be able to have this kind of open discourse and that's good. On the other hand, I don't want to design a product that makes people angry. There's an informational lens for looking at this, and you're designing a product, and what's the feel of the product? I think anyone who's designing a product cares a lot about how the thing feels.
