Mark Andreessen and Peter Thiel are people who have known Zuckerberg for years, were early involved in Facebook and were on the board for years. I think there's plenty of reason to believe.

That a lot of people have over the course of the recent years done many things that they didn't really believe that they should be doing, but they did it out of fear or concern that they simply couldn't get away with pushing back against certain things and they feel newly liberated. to actually push back and assert a bit of power and say, yeah, we're not going to do those things anymore.

And I think, Megan, you were correct to flag early on that it was not a good idea for Facebook to begin fact-checking political ads, not a good idea for them to outsource responsibility for trying to fact-check the videos that Stossel or anyone else is posting and then flagging them formally Corporately, because there's just way too much opportunity for that to go badly for you.

But when you're guided by people internal to you who are interested in wielding power towards political ends, not merely in the interest of fairness and policing misinformation and disinformation, nearly always with a particular political slant. it's going to result in plenty of bad things for you. It'll hurt your brand in the long run. And that is actually what folks have seen in recent years.

So it is nice to see the pendulum swing back. I do suspect a lot of that happens to be related to culture. And I hope that we can actually...

do this in a way that's a bit more stable i think there are plenty of criticisms that one can raise with respect to something like community notes but it does seem to me that it is infinitely better than what facebook chose to do when they again outsource responsibility for this to these ostensibly independent organizations that in many instances have these political biases it is far better to have a transparent process that actually gives people the sensibility

that about what those underlying concerns are related to the articles and to make it broadly available and open. And just like in the last election, we saw some of these betting markets give us some of the best information about where the election was likely to go Community notes processes work something like that. So there's plenty of reason to think that that could be a very healthy thing.
