Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he speaks with President Trump 'from time to time'
have shed light on Zuckerberg's relationship with the president — and raised questions about whether Facebook is catering to Trump to avoid scrutiny amid a call for regulation among large tech companies.
The Washington Post, citing conversations with more than a dozen current and former Facebook employees and internal documents, published a report in June detailing how politics have shaped the company's decision-making processes regarding content moderation and the News Feed as Trump has grown in power over the past five years. The New York Times reported details on a dinner that Trump held with Zuckerberg back in October.
"I know many people are upset that we've left the President's posts up, but our position is that we should enable as much expression as possible unless it will cause imminent risk of specific harms or dangers spelled out in clear policies," Zuckerberg wrote in June in a post explaining the company's decision.
