Making people who are already threatened in this world more threatened.”In January, Zuckerberg announced Facebook and Instagram’s parent company Meta will be scrapping the much-maligned third-party fact-checking system for a community note-based system where users can add context to posts, similar to that on rival social media network X.The tech honcho said the company was returning to its roots after admitting the fact-checking turned into a tool of censorship and became “too politically biased,” “What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas,” he said, adding: “It’s gone too far.”Eisenberg alluded to Zuckerberg’s about-face towards President Donald Trump following the latter’s White House victory, as a cause for concern with his public image.“These people have billions upon billions of dollars, like more money than any human person has ever amassed and what are they doing with it?” he said, “Oh, they’re doing it to curry favor with somebody who’s preaching hate.”Following the November election, Zuckerberg positioned himself with Trump even asking for some help with his business problems.The two met at least twice at Mar-a-Lago before Trump returned to office — once in late November and another in January.Zuckerberg attended Trump’s inauguration where he sat alongside fellow tech CEOs Tim Cook of Apple, X’s Elon Musk, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Google’s Sundar Pichai.Eisenberg said his problem with Zuckerberg isn’t because he played him in a movie.“That’s what I think… not as like a person who played in a movie.

It’s not like I played a great golfer or something and now people think I’m a great golfer.“It’s like this guy that’s doing things that are problematic — taking away fact-checking and safety concerns, making people who are already threatened in this world more threatened.”Eisenberg explained: “I’m concerned just as a person who reads a newspaper.

Red Table Talk” got the boot after Meta unplugged Facebook Watch’s original programming.The daytime Emmy award-winning show — hosted by Jada Pinkett-Smith, her daughter Willow Smith and mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris — tackled conversations about social issues with an inter-generational perspective, which led to Pinkett-Smith exposing the dark side of her marriage with Academy Award winner Will Smith.In 2020, the couple revealed to their 11 million Facebook followers that the “Girls Trip” actor had an “entanglement” — a relationship outside her marriage — with 30-year-old R&B singer August Alsina.She admitted her marriage was on a downfall, and the couple briefly separated, so “I got into a different kind of entanglement with August … it was a relationship, absolutely,” she revealed to her husband in the 12-minute video.After Alsina ended the entanglement with the 51-year-old actor, she began to repair her marriage to 54-year-old Smith, “We have gotten to that new place of unconditional love.”The Facebook series started in 2018 and ran for five seasons before being canceled.Each episode featured a notable guest, such as Hayden Panettiere, Jennette McCurdy, Jordyn Woods, Bobby Brown and the cast of “A Different World.”The talk show was one of the last to get unplugged after Mina Lefevre, head of development and programming at Meta, along with more than 20,000 employees were laid off, according to Deadline.Facebook Watch began scrapping its original scripted programming in 2020 after canceling “Sorry For Your Loss,” starring Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Biel.

While she published her story on Medium at the time to little fanfare, Patel is making her voice louder to publicly discuss her concerns with the platform.“Harassment in the metaverses is a serious issue that the industry needs to come together on to put in place the correct security controls and safety measures,” Patel wrote in an emailed statement to The Post.
