Social media platforms have faced calls to moderate the president's comments, most recently because of the unrest gripping America in the wake of an unarmed bla ck man's death during arrest as a white policeman knelt on his neck.
The CEO was referring to a post by the president that said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" - the same comment on Twitter was still visible but behind a warning label. Facebook's move prompted intense scrutiny and dissent from employees, and it was a "tough decision" over content that had upset him personally, Zuckerberg told around 25,000 staff who had tuned in, according to the tech website Recode which had obtained a copy of the call.
A Facebook spokeswoman told The New York Times that Zuckerberg was "grateful" for the employees' feedback. "Facebook will keep moving the goalposts every time Trump escalates, finding excuse after excuse not to act on increasingly dangerous rhetoric," Aveni wrote on his Facebook page.
I am disgusted with Mark Zuckerberg.
Who cares what he says, he's just a rich man. Rich people's views should be ignored.
This is a targeted campaign by leftist activists and Democrats to take the right to free speech from an elected President. The left and Democrats are rioting and killing innocent people across America. It is the next phase of an illegal coup by Democrats. Appalling.
To think poor old zuckster once saw himself as political leadership material? He can’t even keep the people he pays loyal...
So disappointed!!!
Insane that facebook has self regulation and immunity from libel....An immunity shield....They are legally a hosting service not a publisher...Very unfair on newspaper TV and radio industry....Facebook has editorial control on its platform should be regulated....
You can’t have it both ways, Zuck. Either you spread his incitement to violence or you don’t. You can’t spread it and also say you feel bad about it really. Pick a side.
