Facebook’s chief doubles down on free speech

Mark Zuckerberg pushed back against his critics yesterday and defended the social network’s policy of not policing political speech, Cecilia Kang and Mike Isaac of the NYT report.

Mr. Zuckerberg said that “Facebook had been founded to give people a voice and bring them together, and that critics who had assailed the company for doing so were setting a dangerous example,” Ms. Kang and Mr. Isaac write.

“People having the power to express themselves at scale is a new kind of force in the world — a Fifth Estate alongside the other power structures of society,” Mr. Zuckerberg said in his 35-minute speech at Georgetown University, in which he invoked Frederick Douglass, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Vietnam War and the First Amendment.
