After portraying the CEO of Meta in the movie “The Social Network,” actor Jesse Eisenberg stated in an interview with BBC Radio 4 that he doesn’t want to be associated with Mark Zuckerberg.
Jesse Eisenberg told BBC Radio 4 that he “doesn’t want to be associated” with Mark Zuckerberg. The actor played Meta’s CEO in the 2010 film “The Social Network,” which tells the story of Facebook’s creation.
Eisenberg commented on Zuckerberg’s stance regarding the Meta platforms’ fact-checking policy.
“These people have billions and billions of dollars, more money than any human has ever accumulated in history, and what are they doing with it? They’re using it to please people who spread hate,” he said.
Jesse Eisenberg added that the billionaire is “making life even harder for people who are already threatened.”
He reminded the interviewer that he is married to a teacher who works for justice for people with disabilities in New York and that he is concerned for her students.
In January 2025, Mark Zuckerberg announced he would eliminate fact-checkers in the U.S., claiming that the decision was made to restore “freedom of speech.”
The movie “The Social Network” tells the story of the time when Zuckerberg studied at Harvard and had a legal battle with twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss over the origin of the platform.
Meta’s CEO stated that the movie invented many things about the real reasons behind the creation of Facebook.
