Zuckerberg says Biden administration pushed Meta ‘super hard’ to take down vaccine content - I’m listening to the Zuck - Rogan intervew as I write this, it’s pretty good. Zuck sounds more normal and relaxed than I remember him being. The bit about him looking like a fucking idiot on TV when he was younger was very funny.
