Meta said Zuckerberg was “grateful” for the invitation, adding: “It’s an important time for the future of American innovation.” Leaders at top tech firms have rushed to build relationships with Trump since his decisive election victory last month. Many of them have faced significant regulatory probes and antitrust threats as part of a crackdown by Joe Biden’s Democratic administration. Meta will have to navigate an increasingly complex political landscape. Elon Musk, the billionaire owner of rival social media platform X, is one of Trump’s closest advisers after pouring millions of dollars into his re-election campaign and is expected to help shape federal AI and technology policy.Trump has also previously said he would not ban TikTok upon his return to the White House in a bid to preserve “competition” in a market dominated by Meta, and that he would explore revising regulations around social media moderation.Earlier in the year, Zuckerberg said he wanted to remain neutral during this US election cycle, and has also reduced political content across Meta’s platforms as part of an effort to avoid getting dragged into the partisan fray.However, he shocked some Democrats, as well as staff internally, when he wrote a letter to the House judiciary committee chair Jim Jordan in August accusing the Biden administration of pressuring Meta to “censor” certain Covid-19 content during the pandemic. Clegg said while the social media platform had been focused on reducing the prevalence of harmful content, Zuckerberg wanted “an area of ongoing focus” to be on redoubling efforts “to improve the precision and accuracy with which we act on our rules”.He added: “We’re acutely aware — because users quite rightly raised their voice and complained about this — that we sometimes over enforce, we make mistakes and we remove or restrict innocuous or innocent content.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"hasMoreComments":false,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false}}
