Mark Zuckerberg shared his thoughts about Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

“It’s one thing to say we want to be kind of like welcoming and make a good environment for everyone, and I think it’s another to basically say that ‘masculinity is bad,’ and I just think we kind of swung culturally to that part of the – the kind of – the spectrum,” Zuckerberg said.

Zuckerberg continued, explaining that he does not think masculinity needs to be categorised as “toxic” in order for women to succeed in the corporate world.

The Meta CEO credits martial arts training for his change of heart regarding masculinity.

“I think having a culture that celebrates the aggression a bit more has its own merits that are really positive,” Zuckerberg added.

The interview with the podcast giant was released on the same day Meta ended its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

In a memo from Meta’s vice president of human resources, Janelle Gale, the company cited changes in the “legal and policy landscape surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.”

“The term ‘DEI’ has also become charged, in part because it is understood by some as a practice that suggests preferential treatment of some groups over others,” Gale wrote.

This comes after Meta revealed that Facebook is ditching fact-checkers and choosing to take a leaf out of Elon Musk's social media playbook.

In the podcast episode, Zuckerberg revealed that 3.2 billion people out of the 8 billion people on Earth use Meta services daily

“You’re moderating at a scale that’s beyond the imagination,” said Rogan.

“The number of human beings you’re moderating is f**king insane…how many people use it on a daily basis? Forget about how many overall, like how many people use it regularly?”

“3.2 billion people use one of our services every day, yeah it’s wild,” Zuckerberg said.

The new system effectively crowd-sources fact-checking, relying on Meta users to comment and correct contentious posts on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

There are concerns the move could expose Meta's 3 billion users to misinformation, as this system is nowhere near as precise as 3rd party fact-checking.

The changes come as Meta's fact-checkers face accusations of progressive political bias.

Fact-checking is not the only change, with Zuckerberg also announcing users can expect to see more politics in their feeds, and with fewer restrictions on contentious political topics.

Meta's main man is seemingly motivated by Trump's imminent return to power.

Zuckerberg has even gone so far as to offer to work with Trump on a worldwide free-speech campaign.
