You’ve probably come across Meta’s recent announcement proclaiming, “We are restoring freedom of speech.” By ending its heavy-handed censorship on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, Meta could potentially open new doors for the cryptocurrency world, which had previously been on its blacklist.
Some commentators point to Donald Trump’s return to the political stage as a key factor in this policy shift. However, you might also suspect that Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s owner, is once again showing how quickly he can switch political loyalties. The underlying takeaway? Many believe that money, not unshakable ideals, continues to steer Meta’s most important decisions, and this sudden reversal on censorship is simply the latest example.
