SAN FRANCISCO: Nearly three dozen former employees from Facebook's early days on Wednesday blasted Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's decision not to act against incendiary posts by U.S. President Donald Trump as"cowardly" and a"betrayal" of company ideals.

Snapchat likewise took a hard line, booting Trump's account on Wednesday from a curated"discover" section of its app which promotes fresh content. It said it would not amplify voices inciting"racist violence." The former employees, including a staffer who opened Facebook's office in Washington, implored Zuckerberg to implement checks on speech by political leaders as it does for other users, including fact-checks and labels on harmful posts."The company we joined valued giving individuals a voice as loud as their government's — protecting the powerless rather than the powerful," they wrote.
