Zuckerberg also speaks of appeals processes and review boards as a form of online “checks and balances,” as though he’s in the middle of a comparative government seminar. Really underscores the idea that Facebook is big enough to be its own country, in a lot of ways. — PolitiTweet.org

It strikes me that Zuckerberg talks about the WhatsApp and Instagram purchases as “Instagram joined us” and "when WhatsApp joined,” which sort of sounds vaguely euphemistic — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg claims you can’t prove the counterfactual that they would’ve been more innovative on their own. But similarly, it seems like a stretch to claim with confidence that they couldn’t have been innovative. — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg pushes back on the idea that WhatsApp and Instagram would have been more innovative had they stayed independent, arguing Facebook added lots of features that they wouldn’t have adopted otherwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg pushes back against Chris Hughes’ call for a Facebook breakup, saying breaking up Facebook into smaller companies wouldn’t solve issues like misinformation. He points to YouTube and reddit, which he says are smaller yet still face some of the same challenges. — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg concedes that the Pelosi video was “an execution mistake on our side” in that it took a long time for Facebook’s systems to flag it and rate it as false. — PolitiTweet.org

The definition of election advertising needs to change, Zuckerberg says, from being focused on candidates/elections to include specific issues. (Though hasn’t issue advertising long been considered a form of political advertising?) — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Zuckerberg is onstage with Cass Sunstein at Aspen Ideas. Sunstein jokes: “I think our topic is 'the future of the world.’ “ Which is funny, but also kind of unconsciously speaks to how central Facebook has become to the future of the world…? — PolitiTweet.org

@mcwellons Plausible, I guess, but it sorta feels like a too-convenient excuse, no? Five years elapsed between when the Microsoft settlement got district court approval and the debut of the iPhone in 2007. Android 1.0 didn’t come out til 2008. — PolitiTweet.org

And a little later, Microsoft went after Google with its “Scroogled” ad campaign, which you can still find on YouTube! https://t.co/Ec6EoG9TyX (Worth noting that it’s been years since Microsoft has done anything like this, and Gmail no longer scans your email for ad purposes.) — PolitiTweet.org
