As Facebook continues to move away from employing actual fact checkers, and instead relying on community notes by users, John Oliver created an ad detailing the social media platform’s new strategy: “f–k it.” And he got some help from Cecily Strong, Ronny Chieng and more.
The main story of Sunday’s episode of “Last Week Tonight” focused on content moderation on social media — or rather, the increasing lack thereof — mostly taking aim at Facebook, and laying the blame squarely at the feet of founder Mark Zuckerberg.
“Trump threatened Mark Zuckerberg with life in prison, then Zuckerberg turned around, gave him money, hired one of his buddies and changed the direction his company was going,” Oliver said.
