Peter Thiel said Zuckerberg agreed with Trump to push ‘state-sanctioned conservatism,’ new book says

Facebook honcho Mark Zuckerberg allegedly agreed not to fact-check political posts by Donald Trump’s administration if the former President spared the social media giant ‘heavy-handed regulations,’ according to a tell-all book about Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel.

In what Thiel reportedly called ‘state-sanctioned conservatism,’ Zuckerberg ‘promised [that Facebook] would avoid fact-checking political speech – thus allowing the Trump campaign to claim whatever it wanted,’ writes Max Chafkin, the features editor for Bloomberg’s Businessweek, in his upcoming book, ‘The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s Pursuit of Power.’
