Facebook Insider Reveals Why Elon Musk Is Way More Mature Than Mark Zuckerberg Frances Haugen: “Elon is a much more fully formed adult than Mark. Mark became CEO when he was 19 years old. He has been surrounded only by people he chose to be around since he was 19 years old.” “Elon has invested so much in trying to advance things and he has to deliver. He doesn’t own 60% of the voting shares. He has to negotiate with other people, and that means Elon stays grounded in reality much more than Mark does. The people around Mark are there because Mark wants them to be there. They make Mark feel good. That keeps you from being able to grow and be a fully fleshed-out adult.”

Instagram had a filter that let 13-year-old girls mark up their faces for plastic surgery, experts told Meta to pull it, and Mark Zuckerberg said restricting it would be too controlling. Frances Haugen: “Instagram rolled out augmented reality filters, and one of the filters let you simulate plastic surgery, so you mark up your face as if you’re about to get plastic surgery. People wrote in and said, do we really want 13-year-old girls imagining themselves being marked up for plastic surgery?" "So they went and talked to experts, child psychologists, outside people, inside people. They said, even if this wasn’t bad, and it is bad, it’s a really bad look for us to be promoting this.” “And it goes up to Mark, and Mark says, I think it’s patronizing to restrict access to this for kids. And when he had to give testimony, they asked him, do you still think it’s inappropriate to not have this available for 13-year-old girls? And he goes, I still think it’s patronizing.”

Did Elon save Twitter? PBD: “Do you think Elon buying X was good for society?” Frances Haugen: “I think Twitter was slowly falling apart. One of the things that’s good about Elon buying Twitter is he is just better at technology than most other people are. There’s a chance they would have gone bankrupt, or they could have been bought by someone even worse.” “Twitter plays a role for conversation that is not filled in any other space today. So the fact that it is still a going concern is a positive thing. But he fired all of his safety people, and Mark has been very open that he fired his safety people because Elon was able to, and nothing bad happened to him.”

Who does more to protect kids online, conservatives or liberals? Frances Haugen: “Great question. So far we have seen more right-leaning states be willing to step up and take action. Utah, Florida, and Texas have all done things. When you look at just the legislative history, definitely the right has done more to protect kids online than the left.” “I think they understand better that the internet is not a pure good. There are lots of dark corners.”

Facebook whistleblower says even people like Hasan Piker and Nick Fuentes deserve timeouts, not lifetime bans, because people can change. Frances Haugen: “Permanent bans are not appropriate, period, for people or for elected officials. Right now we have this notion in our society that there are good people and there are bad people, and that denies the chance for growth and change.” PBD: “Take the two extremes politically. Hasan Piker, America deserved 9/11. Or Nick Fuentes, he says what he says.” Frances Haugen: “I’m of the position that you can give people timeouts. The idea that a person isn’t gonna be different in a year, in six months, that excludes a future. In the United States, we have this idea that we can cancel people forever. We need to have consequences, but someone can come back and say, I’m a different person.” “People need to be more uncomfortable than they are today. We don’t get to grow and change if we are not challenged. And this idea that there are ideas too dangerous for us to talk about, that is a great way to stop having ideas.”

Facebook Whistleblower Says Trump’s 2 Year Facebook Ban Went Too Far PBD: “Do you think it was the right move to remove the president off of Facebook?” Frances Haugen: “Given the circumstances in that moment, he had many opportunities to say go home, deescalate, and he chose not to. In at least that localized moment, that was an appropriate decision. But I’m very cautious on whether hard actions like exclusionary policies are appropriate.” PBD: “So short term for you would be what? 24 hours, 48 hours?” Frances Haugen: “Probably a week or two, but let him back in. You could imagine waiting a couple days and seeing what they do, because maybe they need a timeout. If they come back and say, hey, I was really wound up, it was clearly not the right thing to do, that’s a very different thing than saying you can never come back again.”

What Joe Rogan Said About Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Death Before Dave Chappelle’s Joke Joe Rogan: “To celebrate or in any way encourage this kind of behavior from human beings. He’s not a violent guy. He’s talking to people on college campuses, wasn’t even particularly rude, tried to be pretty reasonable with people." "And there’s a lot of stuff that I didn’t agree with him on. That’s fine. You’re allowed to disagree with people without celebrating the fact they got shot.”

Dave Chappelle makes a disgusting joke about "feeling better" since Charlie Kirk’s murder, and says that he's probably in hell. Dave Chappelle: “It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean, look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered, and I shouldn’t say this publicly, but I feel better. I'm sure he's looking up at us right now, laughing so hard he can't breathe." Vinnie: “I have lost all respect, everything, for Dave Chappelle. I don’t care how funny he is. Just put yourself there for a second. If Shane Gillis went on stage and said, ever since George Floyd died, man, I feel better. Imagine what the world would do.” Ilan: “A human life is a human life at the end of the day. If you see a man die and you feel like it was under circumstances that were unjustified, regardless of George Floyd, regardless of Charlie Kirk, you do not celebrate it. Because you’re a human being, and through that, you have empathy for other human beings. And we’re losing that empathy.”

Should Jensen Huang Step Down? Vinnie: “I want him to step down. The sooner the better. Not just an affair, a spy." Tom: "The only way he stays is f he comes out and it's proven that she wanted to get all this information, and he didn't give it to her, and they had an affair, but I think the odds of that are low.” PBD: "He's out, he's out. And to me, it's got less to do with the affair. It's got more to do with who it is."
