Zachary Wright MBA - I share your passion for creating a better workplace. Still, the narrative overlooks a critical reality: Young men today struggle educationally, economically, and psychologically in ways far beyond “toxic” tropes. As Professor Scott Galloway points out, men’s college enrollment is plummeting, leaving them with fewer paths to economic security. Jonathan Haidt’s research shows that anxiety and depression have climbed sharply among young men, partly due to shifting social norms and digital influences. Warren Farrell, PhD calls it a genuine “boy crisis,” spotlighting higher rates of suicidality and disengagement. And Richard V. Reeves warns that men are falling behind in the workforce at every level. Yes, supporting women’s rights and inclusive workplaces remains vital. But ignoring or trivializing the unique challenges facing men won’t solve anything. Many feel shut out of the larger conversation, so they turn to alternative outlets that acknowledge their struggles, whether or not we agree with their tone or approach. If our true goal is a future of work that benefits everyone, we can’t afford to dismiss or demonize men’s calls for recognition and support. We must expand the discussion to address why so many young men are languishing and find solutions that bring everyone together.

Further education on the issue.. This was when Mark Zuckerberg was brought in front of a committee in Washington and drilled about why a teenager committed suicide due to a number of fake profiles from Nigeria on his platform bullying him into taking his own life. And Mr. Zuckerberg, a Harvard dropout, sat there looking confused not knowing what to say. Truth of the matter is, he doesn't care that roughly 50% of registered users on his platform are fake because he uses that number into cornering advertisers into paying whatever fee he asks for. What bothers me to no end that a great number of Facebook and IG users are well aware of the dangers this presents to the youth of our world but so many people seem to not care at all. Yes, there have been a number of times when I said we'll, no one really wants this new venture so I may as well create something that purely makes money and every time I do, I run into someone aged 18-27 who says, please don't stop.. We need your "Go Go Go" So why is it that unless I post a photo of Elon Musk or Bill Gates do none of you ever speak up against the dangers of out of control social media? I'll share 15 different online articles and publications of which I've been featured on the subject matter, and urging UNITY across all lines of divide all day long, and silence I will hear. I'll state that there will be a hub dedicated towards protecting our artists and preventing great creators of our world from dying early again like Anthony Bourdain and no one cares. I will share words given by Hillary Clinton shared on Fox News that echo the same sentiments and no one mutters a word. I'll share words given by the top Econonic minds of our era warning us of what may happen to the markets and I'll be met with dissent immediately. I'll warn everyone that we are indeed on the path towards, "1984", and none of you still seem to care. Are you all that blissfully ignorant? Yes, a very challenging thing to be asked but sometimes everyone needs to be pushed out of their comfort zones for a while to create progress among the masses. I guess we can all just ignore the dangers of this all, and continue ignoring what is happening to the world as well politically and socially.. But one day soon this will all catch up to us and we all pay the most ultimate of prices with watching the unfolding of our own modern civilization go down in front of us but sadly what I've seen among the majority of humans is that they only begin caring if their money is effected. And that is an extremely disheartening thing to continue keep seeing among those who are a member, and mostly a paying member of a "Professional" social media platform. I expect Facebook and IG users not to care because their minds have long been brainwashed and are gone as they thirst for "Likes" every day.. But not you all. Come on everyone.. We can be alot better for the betterment and progression of the entire world. Go Go Go Www.go-go-go.world

Tech still struggles with a lack of women joining the ranks, but if anyone has been a pivotal figure in driving better recognition, and particularly for mothers within the industry, it was Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube. The announcement of her death from lung cancer over the weekend and reading the subsequent obituaries, serves to show what a true trailblazer she was, as both a visionary business leader, but also as a culture changer, breaking down the toxic masculinity that existed in big tech. In fact, Google may not even had existed without Susan, as it was famously her garage that young Stanford University students Larry Page and Sergey Brin, first set up their promising internet search engine. She had the guts to gamble her secure role at Intel Corporation and join their start-up as employee #16 and their first marketing manager. In fact, Wojcicki changed marketing for ever; firstly, as the architect of ADSENSE, Google’s advertising platform that allowed digital publishers to monetize their content through targeted ads and then as CEO of YouTube, driving video as the number one channel for content. Wojcicki was also go on to be the lead in the early development of?Google’s image search. Her real legacy as a leader was shaping Google’s parental leave policies. As their first employee to become pregnant (she eventually had five children), she demanded the need for supportive workplace policies for working parents, leading her to advocate for and help implement more comprehensive parental leave options at Google. This initiative was significant for highlighting the progressive importance of a family-friendly work environment and set a precedent for other tech companies to follow. I'm obsessed with courageous leadership and every industry has those who challenge conventional thinking to push to break new barriers, both from an innovation and human perspective. Susan Wojcicki richly deserves her place on this list and leaves an indelible print on modern business. DHR Global #courageousleadership #modernbusiness #challengethenorm

I had been asked a lot why I di not use X (Twitter) anymore. And also what my opinion on germans climate minister #RobertHabeck is, since he is back on X for upcoming elections. With X shifting to support far-right ideologies under Elon Musk, the platform’s role in democratic debate and science communication is increasingly questionable. Through reduced moderation (more attacs on myself), reinstating banned accounts, and tolerating misinformation, X has made itself a platform where extreme views and divisive narratives thrive—eroding trust in public discourse and complicating effective engagement. But why does this matter? 1. *Loss of Credibility*: Unchecked disinformation has made X a less reliable place for factual information. For scientists and campaigners alike, reaching audiences who trust their sources has become far more difficult. Thats why I changed to LinkedIn 2. *Amplified Polarization*: The platform’s environment often supports anti-science and extreme narratives, pushing division instead of enabling open, evidence-based and trustful conversations. For science communicators, this means their messages are likely to be buried under a wave of skepticism or hostility. I want to bring science, policy and society *together* 3. *Reduced Accountability and Safety*: With looser content controls, the platform isn’t a secure place for respectful discourse. Harassment goes unmonitored, which discourages scientists from engaging or sharing their work openly. Unfortunately this leads to a closed dialouge among scientists sticking in the ivory tower. It’s worth rethinking whether X is the best place for election campaigns or science outreach. Other platforms that prioritize moderation and balanced debate—like LinkedIn or Mastodon—might better support effective, trustworthy communication. Let’s find platforms that truly reflect the values of democracy and scientific integrity. Part of the #Scientists4Future community are leaving X after Trumps election. #ByebyeX Whats your opinion about it? Where are you sharing your thoughts?

As further evidence that the socio-political pendulum in the United States is swinging back from progressive extremes, check out Mark Zuckerberg's comments today about the changes Meta is making to the content review policies on Facebook and Instagram to remove fact checkers: “Fact checkers have been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created. What started as a movement to be more inclusive has increasingly been used to shut down opinions and shut out people with different ideas, and it’s gone too far.” So, what is Meta doing to offset the loss of these previously lauded fact checkers? They are replacing them with user-generated “community notes." If that sounds strangely familiar, it's what Elon Musk did at X (formerly known as Twitter)--a change that was widely criticized in the media and by major advertisers who canceled their ads because of fears about having their brands associated with hate speech. (Zuckerberg did acknowledge that Meta's new policy included a “tradeoff” in that more harmful content will appear on the platform as a result of the content moderation changes.) While it's easy to attribute Zuckerberg's epiphany to defensive posturing ahead of the new presidential administration (see also Zuckerberg's addition of Trump ally and UFC CEO Dana White to Meta's board), the elimination of frequently biased fact-checking is a positive change and a boost for bolstering free speech on social media. As Meta’s newly appointed Chief of Global Affairs Joel Kaplan told Fox on Tuesday, Meta’s partnerships with third-party fact checkers were “well intentioned at the outset but there’s just been too much political bias in what they choose to fact check and how.” I have been a First Amendment fan since law school. Although I abhor the garbage that circulates on sites like X (from the left and the right, I should add), these sites are like the public square where the only practical solution to opposing viewpoints (political, scientific or social) is more speech not less. The First Amendment already fails to protect the worst speech. I am not willing to trust a government, business or charitable group to decide what else I can say. Free speech can be informative, persuasive and inspirational. It can also be offensive, inconsiderate and hurtful. But it's the best price we can pay to ensure the freedom it provides. Whatever the emotional cost of enduring its downsides, free speech enables us to fight tyranny, question legal, scientific and moral authority, argue for change and use words rather than violence to settle our differences. #Meta #Facebook #Instagram #X #Socialmedia #FirstAmendment #freespeech

"Mark Zuckerberg's comments about the need for more 'masculine energy' in workplaces don’t take into account how much damage patriarchal aggression does to everyone… including men!" As someone who has exclusively worked in female dominated spaces, to the extent I have been the only man, or one of two in a room, or in a team, I think Facebook's CEO's comments aren't just wrong but deeply damaging. Throughout my life I have suffered at the hands of masculine aggression. But working in female dominated spaces became a safe haven for me, it allowed me and my co-workers to not only get our job done efficiently but thrive in a safe and inclusive space. I simply wouldn't be here without the female bosses and colleagues I have had. I have found these spaces to be welcoming of different voices, ideas and make space for personal lives and situations - be that mental health challenges or getting pregnant - so people feel valued and seen inside of work and more fulfilled outside of it. Whereas the stories from my female friends and friends from minority communities working in male dominated spaces show how toxic masculine aggression can be: it can leave them feeling isolated, voiceless and lacking in confidence in all aspects of their life. Mark's comments also give a wave of disenfranchised men the permission or language to perpetuate misogynistic narratives inside work and outside of it. Progress isn’t made in regression. Progress is made when we embrace new energy, not the energy of the old guard. We need to include everyone, men included, but that is something masculine energy is not used to doing. I firmly believe we need more feminine energy in workplaces, not less, for the benefit of all and I just wish EVERYONE got to experience how incredible working in 'feminine' work spaces is. Maybe Mark might not be making these comments if that was the case? Read my full thoughts in my latest article for GLAMOUR here: https://lnkd.in/eZksXzB9

This CEO is running a social media company with FEMININE energy. And masculine energy. And non binary energy. Hi, I'm Isvari Maranwe and I'm the CEO of Yuvoice. We are building a first of a kind platform that rewards offline impact and focuses on real community. And in general I lead with the kindness, innovation, and impact you'd expect from 2025. Mark Zuckerberg is evil, but he's also bad at business and social media. Last week, he said tech companies need more masculine energy and less DEI. But Facebook is a terrible use of time and Instagram's algorithm pales in comparison to TikTok or even YouTube. He, like Elon Musk, is finding out that money can't buy respect, ethics, or admiration. Being a diverse woman with non-masculine energy, I am aware of that from the get go. I will also not become a billionaire through Yuvoice, even if/when we are the largest player on the market. Because it's not about me. Follow me. Follow Yuvoice. Ignore Zuckerberg and his sexist comments. He wants the attention. Let's stop giving it to him. ????

Could Elon Musk be the political ‘puppet master’ of our time? As politics in the U.S. becomes increasingly intertwined with technology, Meta's Nick Clegg has sparked a conversation about Elon Musk's significant role in shaping both the upcoming elections and potentially influencing the new U.S. administration. With his vast social media reach and innovative initiatives, could Musk’s influence be paving a path toward a new era of digital governance? The implications of this are profound—what does it mean for democracy when one tech mogul wields such power? Is this evolution within politics a positive transformation that enables innovation and citizen engagement, or does it risk overshadowing established democratic processes? As Musk continues to redefine industries and platforms, do we trust him to act in the best interest of society? This dialogue is crucial as we're witnessing an unprecedented blending of technology with governance. Join us below as we explore Clegg's insights on how this dynamic could unfold. One thing is for sure—like it or not, its impact will undoubtedly extend far beyond our current understanding! ?? Connect with startups to drive your corporate innovation ??

TIME TO QUIT TWITTER & FACEBOOK? Meta is abandoning the use of independent fact checkers on Facebook and Instagram, replacing them with X-style "community notes" where commenting on the accuracy of posts is left to users. This is happening "In the US first." But that statement as a clear expression of an intent to apply the same idea elsewhere. Musk's attacks on those in Europe that my block the actions of the people like him and Zuckerberg seem to be just part of the strategy to get them out of the way, therefore. I already quit X when Musk took over. I now plan to quit Facebook to. "In the US first, may be "in the UK soon" which would force me to quit. But I think I will quit Facebook very soon in support of the sensible Americans who are horrified by what is starting to happen before Trump has even been re-inaugurated. Democracy is getting closer and closer to the cliff-edge! In a video posted alongside a blog post by the company on Tuesday, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg said third-party moderators were "too politically biased" and it was "time to get back to our roots around free expression". The move comes as Zuckerberg and other tech executives seek to improve relations with US President-elect Donald Trump before he takes office later this month. Trump and his Republican allies have criticised Meta for its fact-checking policy, calling it censorship of right-wing voices. Speaking after the changes were announced, Trump told a news conference he was impressed by Zuckerberg's decision and that Meta had "come a long way". Asked whether Zuckerberg was "directly responding" to threats Trump had made to him in the past, the incoming US president responded: "Probably". https://lnkd.in/eFRVK_wV A great explanation of what Musk is up to is offered by Ros Atkins: https://lnkd.in/eYJ4cjmn #Trump #DonaldTrump #Musk #ElonMusk #Zuckerberg #MarkZuckerberg #Twitter #X #META #Politics #FarRight #democracy #freepress #socialmedia #corrption #factchecking #propaganda #
