“Trump threatened Mark Zuckerberg with life in prison then Mark Zuckerberg turned around, gave him money, hired one of his buddies and changed the direction his company was going,” he said.
John Oliver took aim at Mark Zuckerberg and the world of content moderation in this week’s episode of Last Week Tonight.
Oliver said that for Zuckerberg “a simple dream of ranking his classmates by fuckability” soon became a “company struggling to stop people from accusing random pizzerias of human trafficking”.
The Last Week Tonight host looked at content moderation and how Mark Zuckerberg has bent to Trump’s will.
Oliver joked that he looked like “Eddie Redmayne was cast to play Ice Cube” and while Zuckerberg stressed the importance of returning the site to its roots and emulating real-world conversations, he was wearing a $900,00 watch, a sign of how “out of touch” he is.
