You don't have many friends and they're probably all old. Facebook is still very much alive and active.

I call bullshit. He has never demonstrated any commitment to free speech in the past, so if he's virtue signalling for it now it means there's fuckery afoot.
This combined with those articles the other day accusing him of being allied to Trump (lol) makes me suspicious.
What articles? Personally I suspect he may be influenced by Peter Thiel. He's known him for many years and there's a similarity in how they speak. Maybe it's the somewhat robotic mannerisms, I don't know. I think it is more than that though, he backed facebook early on and may have been one of the first investors and consequently likely mentored Mark Zuckerberg.
Thiel was an early backer of Facebook and became a close adviser to Zuckerberg on raising money, weighing acquisitions and taking risks.
As Zuckerberg recalled in one recent interview with Altman, "Peter was the person who told me this really pithy quote: 'In a world that's changing so quickly, the biggest risk you can take is not taking any risk.' "
Thiel spoke up for trump before the election.
He resisted turning on thiel back in 2016
Either Thiel or the principle of diversity of opinion is important to him. Thiel came out against leftist identity politics in the 90's and gave a really forward thinking speech.
