このコンテンツについて
Mark Zuckerberg’s week has been a wild ride through controversy, high-stakes boardrooms, and the halls of power in Washington. Kicking things off, the New York Times and the Tech Transparency Project both spotlighted a scandal over Meta’s handling of AI-driven deepfake political ads. These reports triggered a sharply worded letter from top members of Congress to Zuckerberg himself, accusing Meta of profiting off fraudulent advertisements that use AI to deceive vulnerable Americans. The lawmakers demanded answers about why repeat offenders were allowed to continue running scammy ads, questioning whether Meta is prioritizing user safety or profit in the age of artificial intelligence. While no formal response from Zuckerberg has hit the wires yet, pressure is mounting on Meta to tighten enforcement and implement better safeguards.
Meanwhile, according to Business Insider, Zuckerberg has been on an internal and external charm offensive as Meta launches 2025 with a self-described sprint of policy overhauls and bold ambitions. He announced the end of third-party fact-checking in favor of a new community notes model—much like Elon Musk’s approach on X—sparking both outrage and celebration depending on political persuasion. This moderation shake-up comes just as Donald Trump returns to the White House. After a much-discussed dinner at Mar-a-Lago and a million-dollar donation to Trump’s inauguration fund, Zuckerberg was front and center during the new president’s swearing-in, raising eyebrows about Meta’s strategic pivot to appease the current administration.
On a recent earnings call, Zuckerberg claimed 2025 would be “a big year for redefining our relationship with governments,” voicing optimism about the Trump administration’s focus on American tech leadership. He’s also hyped the upcoming Llama 4 AI model and teased a return to “some OG Facebook.” Speculation is swirling, with industry insiders like Forrester’s Mike Proulx describing this as a year of “intensity” rather than just “efficiency.”
Personnel news made headlines, too: Meta’s global affairs role now belongs to Joel Kaplan, a longtime Republican lobbyist, while the board welcomed big names like UFC’s Dana White and Exor CEO John Elkann. Meta is prepping for more layoffs next month—5 percent of its workforce—but simultaneously plans to expand hiring for AI and infrastructure, with capital expenditures projected to reach up to 65 billion dollars this year.
On the product front, The Verge and Unilad Tech report that Zuckerberg is reviving Facebook’s job board feature, just two years after it was axed, aiming at local odd jobs via the Marketplace. The move is attracting both attention and criticism, especially in light of Meta’s ongoing reliance on AI, fresh layoffs, and stories from ex-staffers describing a grueling corporate climate.
Finally, in the world of social media buzz, controversy flared after Attorney General Pam Bondi bragged on X that the Trump administration had successfully pressured Facebook to take down certain pages, reigniting debates about free speech and government interference. Critics on Techdirt were quick to accuse Zuckerberg of hypocrisy, arguing that his resistance to political pressure under Biden was little more than theater compared to acts of compliance under Trump.
In biographical terms, this week is likely to stand out as a consequential chapter for Zuckerberg—a period defined by political headwinds, AI arms races, sweeping business moves, and intensifying scrutiny over ethics and free expression.
