    I’m curious if this was going to apply to content on non-Chinese Facebook. Another part of the article referring to hiring a “chief editor” explicitly says that the editor part would apply to the Chinese version only, but at the same time, Facebook removed content posted by a person in New York from Facebook at the request of the Chinese government, so it could go either way.

    If somebody is decrying the state of free speech in their podcast, show or in the campaign trail you can be pretty confident it’s an empty platitude. That said, you probably won’t find many examples of people willing to defend free speech or any civil liberties the moment their freedom is on the line. That’s not Zuck though. He’s just full of it.
