The New York Times reports:
In a wide-ranging question-and-answer session with Meta employees on Thursday, Mark Zuckerberg, the company’s chief executive, defended recent changes he had made to loosening restrictions on online speech and ending diversity initiatives, and doubled down on embracing President Trump’s new administration.
“I want to be clear, after the last several years, we now have an opportunity to have a productive partnership with the United States government,” Mr. Zuckerberg said, according to a recording of the meeting shared with The New York Times. “We’re going to take that.”
Mr. Zuckerberg’s remarks signaled his tightened grip over Meta as he has remade the company for the Trump era, to the consternation of some of his employees. At Meta, Mr. Zuckerberg has clamped down on employee dissent in recent years, including by banning workplace discussions around certain contentious social and political issues.

Zuck justifies bowing down to Trump and other despots around the world out of fear and greed. Profits over everything else.
