Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Loat Ceters. Today is Thursday the 9th of January and this is episode

1,075. I'm your host Telios and I'm joined by Josh. Hello. And we're gonna discuss

Zuckerberg announcing the end of censorship Trump's obsession with Canada and Greenland and

Andrew Tate running for president.

A lot of people talk about the fires. We are going to talk about them tomorrow. The fires in

Los Angeles, what I mean? And without further ado, should we begin?

We may as well. Why not? A little foray into the news, shall we? So, Mark Zuckerberg recently made an announcement that his two companies, Facebook and Instagram,

are going to be taking greater measures to protect, and I quote here, free expression.

I mean, I'll believe it when I see it personally, but the video is actually very interesting. And I think that there's a lot of

information in this five minute video that we can unpack that is quite rich because, of course,

there are lots of different factors here. One of the explicit reasons he actually says he's doing

this is the recent election, and that is of course the election of Donald Trump.

And it's interesting that he just openly says,

Paul Trump's been elected, so we're changing our policies,

because that seems like something that you wouldn't necessarily choose to do if you wanted to save face, because it makes it sound like you've been made to do it.

However, I'm going to break down why he might be saying that,

and I'm going to play the video a little bit in sections, and we're going to talk about the implications of each thing you're saying because there's a lot of important things there.

And of course, it's worth mentioning as well. As of November of 2024, Facebook had just over 3 billion monthly active users and Instagram had 2 billion as of April of

2024 and of course assuming that he is being genuine about what they are going to do

and isn't misrepresenting what is actually going to happen which is possible that is going to be a huge thing

and a very large section of the internet that is going to be a huge thing, and a very large section of the

internet that is going to go a very similar way to Elon Musk's ex-formally Twitter.
