It had been three days since Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on the neck of George Floyd for more than eight minutes until the 46-year-old Black man lost consciousness, showing no signs of life. A video taken by a bystander had been viewed millions of times online. Protests had taken over Minnesota’s largest city and would soon spread throughout cities across America.
Social media rival Twitter, meanwhile, responded quickly at the time by covering Trump’s tweet with a warning and prohibiting users from sharing it any further.Facebook’s internal discussions were revealed in disclosures made to the Securities and Exchange Commission and provided to Congress in redacted form by former Facebook employee-turned-whistleblower Frances Haugen’s legal counsel.
By June 2, “we can see clearly that the entire country was basically ‘on fire,’” a Facebook employee wrote of the increase in hate speech and violence reports in the June 5 memo. But the internal findings also raise questions about public statements Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg made last year as he defended his decision to leave Trump’s post untouched.
“Our violence and incitement classifier was almost 90% certain that this post violated Facebook’s ... policy,” the June 5 analysis reads. But Trump continued to use his Facebook account, which more than 32 million follow, to fire up his supporters throughout much of the remainder of his presidency. In the days leading up to a deadly siege in Washington on Jan. 6, Trump regularly promoted false claims that widespread voter fraud caused him to lose the White House, spurring hundreds of his fans to storm the U.S. Capitol and demand the results of a fair election be overturned.

It wasn’t Trump that ignited anger. I’m not a Trump guy. It was treating a career criminal as a fallen hero that ignited my anger and disgust. It was the press convicting the police before there were even charges.
There is no such thing as ExPresident BillClinton AND this happened BEFORE Trump ran. What year do you allege the posts were made hateful_heretic and who read them SecretService as the intended audience? WHY it's important to the tweet, it would indicate FCC 🎬: FINES
Now that we now one of the big flashpoints was incited by a white supremacist who knows what kind of planning went into all of this.
..ignited anger....= ignited deaths!
I think Trump enjoys igniting anger. I think he gets perverse joy from infighting and the disruption he has and continues to cause.
Pretends to be shocked.
And we’re just trying to bring back the days where sharing wholesome content would be able to spread organically 😞
FB only banned Trump because Twitter did it first. Too little & too late on both, but still Twitter set the standard.
Yeah because it was Trump voters rioting, looting, and burning down cities. Y'all call everything violence except actual violence.🙄
Zuck is a criminal
So you are blaming the rioting & looting on Trump? I’m calling Bullshit
So, Facebook conspired with Trump. 😐
FB still does it, but with other tRumpers who still spew hate and divisiveness while using such social media platform.
Social media, especially Facebook, is DESIGNED to be more addictive than tobacco or heroin. Regulate it like Big Tobacco.
