Speaking at an event to raise awareness about imprisoned WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Waters noted the deep deep irony of Facebook wanting to buy and use a song that rails against âthought controlâ and mindless conformity.
Waters described the development as part of Zuckerbergâs âinsidious movement⌠to take over absolutely everything.â
Waters read out Facebookâs request, which noted âWe want to thank you for considering this project. We feel that the core sentiment of this song is still so prevalent and so necessary today, which speaks to how timeless the work is.â
âAnd yet, they want to use it to make Facebook and Instagram more powerful than it already is,â Waters urged, adding âso that it can continue to censor all of us in this room and prevent this story about Julian Assange getting out into the general public so the general public can go, âWhat? No. No More.ââ
âSo itâs a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me⌠with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money and the answer is, âf**k you! No f**king way!â,â Waters boomed to rapturous applause.
âI will not be a party to this bullsh-t, Zuckerberg,â Waters added.
He then asked âHow did this little pr**k, who started off going, âSheâs pretty, weâll give her a four out of five. Sheâs ugly, weâll give her a oneâ⌠How the f**k did he get any power in anything?â
