Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has defended his controversial decision to leave up President Donald Trump’s posts about the Minneapolis protests on the social media platform.
“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,’’While the posts remained on Facebook, Twitter flagged one of Trump’s tweets with the same content as"glorifying violence."
Wrote Zuckerberg: “I've been struggling with how to respond to the President's tweets and posts all day. Personally, I have a visceral negative reaction to this kind of divisive and inflammatory rhetoric ... but I'm responsible for reacting not just in my personal capacity but as the leader of an institution committed to free expression."
Facebook looked closely to evaluate whether Trump’s post violated the company’s policies, according to Zuckerberg. The words “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” have been attributed to a Miami police chief in 1967 who made clear his disdain for civil rights activists.
For once I agree
Zuckerberg, you are such a tool.
Same furthers
Remember if facebook or twitter or any social media censors evil posts, they can also censor good ones. And then it comes down to who runs the country. Who determines what is proper?
Facebook has become the propaganda network for the Trump party. We can make it change. Make your opinion count on Facebook. Just another Sean Laura Rush show for trump white supremists for the rich.
Trump is right at social media. Am glad that he is there to defend users.
F Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg says Trump's posts do not violate Facebook policyFacebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday said a post by President Donald Trump in which he says 'when the looting starts, the shooting starts' does not violate the company's policies and will remain online. Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg need to stop bending to the wills of this corrupt WhiteHouse. I am disgusted that they are not willing to stand up against the inciting of violence. You have a duty Facebook and that is to limit misinformation. But saying Chinese buffets are dirty and gross does Zuck is a pile of shit
