Actor Jesse Eisenberg, known for portraying Mark Zuckerberg in the film 'The Social Network,' has voiced his concerns about the Meta CEO and the company's practices. Eisenberg stated that he avoids following Zuckerberg's life trajectory due to the latter's involvement in activities he deems problematic, such as removing fact-checking and prioritizing profit over user safety.
"I'm concerned just as a person who reads a newspaper," Jesse Eisenberg said, when asked about his feelings toward Mark Zucekerberg and his company, Meta "I haven't been following his life trajectory, partly because I don't want to think of myself as associated with somebody like that," Eisenberg said in an interview clip the BBC shared on its website.
"I don't think like about, 'Oh I played the guy in the movie.' It's just I'm a human being and you read these things and these people have billions upon billions of dollars, more money than any human person has ever amassed," Eisenberg noted.
