New York: So, Mark Zuckerberg recently went on Joe Rogan’s podcast, acting like he’s all about free speech. But come on, he’s been part of the problem with censorship on Facebook, especially during the 2020 election and the pandemic.

He can’t just shrug off his past actions. Remember when he blocked The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story? Or when he banned Trump? Those moves were huge and had real consequences.

Now, he’s whining about pressure from the Biden administration to take down posts. But why didn’t he speak up during the Missouri v. Biden case? His silence could have shown how the First Amendment was being messed with.

It wasn’t until Congress started digging that he admitted the FBI warned Facebook about a supposed Russian disinformation campaign. He even said he didn’t really remember the warning, which is a bit sketchy.

And let’s not forget the $450 million he donated for “election integrity” in 2020, which mostly helped Democrats. That’s two big ways he interfered in the election. Hiring a few Trump supporters isn’t enough to make up for that.

His recent attempts to cozy up to Trump, like putting a Trump buddy on his board and changing his stance on free speech, seem pretty transparent. He even flew to Mar-a-Lago to meet Trump, wearing a suit and red tie. Seriously?

People are fed up with this “nerd rule” where tech giants like Zuckerberg have so much power. He’s been wrong on so many issues, and it’s clear he can’t handle that kind of influence.

He pretends to support free speech, but he folded under pressure from Democrats after the 2016 election. He started censoring conservatives and implementing biased fact-checking. It’s a mess.

Even Trump got banned after the Capitol riot, and Zuckerberg’s team justified it by saying he incited violence, which he didn’t. It’s all about who’s in power and how they can manipulate the platform.

Now, Zuckerberg is trying to play nice with the new administration, but who’s to say he won’t flip again when it suits him? This kind of behavior puts our democracy at risk.

The only way to tackle this issue is for the new Justice Department to take action against Big Tech’s monopoly. We need competition to keep these companies in check and ensure they don’t control our communication.

As we head into an AI-driven future, we can’t let a few tech elites dictate our lives. It’s time for a change.
