Facebook's
His initial launch of the social media giant Facebook was on a very small scale to just the students of Harvard University. Zuckerburg said that his values about free speech are what have kept him driven in his company and takes pride in the fact the Facebook has allowed the people, more free speech than ever before. He went on to explain how limiting free speech has had a negative effect on United States democracy and how giving a voice to the people is the first step in changing that negative aspect.
"Black Lives matter was first mentioned on Facebook," Zuckerburg stated about one of history's largest social movements. He took a stance that Facebook has given a voice to those who would not have one without the platform. He argued that this has benefited Western society by allowing business Facebook pages, group creating, and live streaming.
Zuckerburg claimed his invention has allowed the people to overstep politics and media to make their voices heard. He mentioned concerns that people have had about the security on Facebook and reassures by conveying that 35,000 Facebook employees geared toward security.
Zuckerburg's speech was executed with confidence and clarity. His determined attitude demanded the attention of the room and kept the room silent. Upon closing, he brought up the topic of filtering content and how it may contradict his values and beliefs, but he will continue striving to find the perfect amount of filtering.
Zuckerberg's comments about censorship and security come at the time when the company is under an anti-trust investigation of more than 47 attorney generals in the United States.
The investigation has caused a drop in Facebook's stock and a decrease in users.
