Hollywood actor Jesse Eisenberg, who received an Oscar nomination for playing Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, is not in favour of being associated with Meta head-honcho, Mark Zuckerberg. The actor is distancing himself from the Facebook and Meta chief.
In an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s ‘Today’ on Tuesday, Eisenberg admitted that he hasn’t been following the tech giant’s “life trajectory, partly because I don’t want to think of myself as associated with somebody like that”, reports ‘Variety’.
“It’s not like I played a great golfer or something and now people think I’m a great golfer”, he continued. “It’s like this guy that’s doing things that are problematic, taking away fact-checking and safety concerns, making people who are already threatened in this world more threatened”.
On January 7, Zuckerberg announced that Meta would be replacing its fact-checking systems on Facebook and Instagram with a “community notes” model similar to Elon Musk’s X.. (IANS)
