Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg backed his stance of largely not interfering with politicians’ posts on the company’s platform as President Trump is expected to sign an executive order that would make it easier for regulators to hold social-media companies liable for curbing users’ speech.
“I don’t think Facebook or internet platforms in general should be arbiters of truth,” Mr. Zuckerberg said in a CNBC interview aired Thursday. “I think that’s kind of a dangerous line to get to in terms of deciding what is...
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg have always been at odds with each. The one thing they have in common is that both their noses are so far up trump's a$$, they can't hear that we are sick of trump's lies, tantrums, threats and bullying.
Fk him
BS. I wish I was smart enough or had the resources to take down his monopoly of information. I think it will happen....can’t be soon enough
RT : Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook will take down content that is perceived to be harmful, but reiterated that the company isn’t in the business of determining what is true or false
McClain_on_NFL When will the world realize sharing pictures isn’t essential. I could care less if fb went away!
Doublespeak.
Laughable, years after so much crime, corruption & hate been facilitated. Think about it - FB & intent with which it was initially created ... by social misfits. Exactly.
False info is as damaging as being bullyed or name calling. So, get off your dopple standard
Fuck facebook!!
Yet that’s exactly what they do.
It's not in his nature to say anything that resembles truth, so why would anyone believe him? How many times has his company failed to protect its users privacy, all the while doing the very opposite of what he was professing to be doing?
Good MarkZucerkberg this is how it should be
So, if “false” but not harmful, it can stay (eg Dem/left driven) but will be deemed harmful if it’s detrimental to the leftist causes?
不是言论自由吗？凭什么删？
Be careful what you wish for
You’re responsible when the content is wildly irresponsible like 45’s was. You’re responsible when boldfaced lies “grace” your platform. It’s not all about $ Zuck, it’s about human decency and not promoting potentially life-threatening posts from a moron.
I think facebook really just like CCP
BREAKING: piersmorgan forgets to turn tv off. Worried sick, he’s demanded an Alzheimer’s test. Just like when he had a sniffle and trapped wind and got a C-19 test. Lord_Sugar GMB itvnews HuffPost Daily_Express dailystar DailyMirror KP24 JeremyClarkson
If the orange man (TOM) would like to cleverly turn the tables he could simply be more factual and they could use him or his press secretary as their Fact Check FactCheck FactCheckTrump
FREEDOM OF SPEECH !
Zuckerberg is a craven coward. What is his threshold? Fomenting hate? Advocating intimidation? Promoting violence? Does he even have a threshold, or should he happily continue to allow his product to an enabler and amplifier of lies and hate for a profit? He is a coward.
Apparently, Facebook believes that Perception is Reality... Moreso, does he not realize that the two parts of his statement are actually Contradictory...
Blatant dangerous lies ARE harmful.
46th
Define “harmful“, please.
FaceBook is irrelevant and becoming more so.
Why start being a leader on this issue when profits are good?
Turning the blind eye
So it could be true but harmful and it gets taken down?
If you can determine what is harmful, how come you can’t determine if sth true or false!
Zuckerberg and Chucky are fascists who are using their platforms to exert bias against those whose opinions they disagree with. BS fact checks (I got one in some foreign language). Twexit
🌺yeah ok
Facebook Is fomenting partisanship considered 'harmful'? This is what its targeting POTUS with fact checking, while giving a pass to other known untruthful government officials, such as AdamSchiff, will do.
Trick to FB is to choose your “friends” wisely. I worry that lots click on every friend suggestion.
Fair call, but -how much is your data really worth then?
Ironically Zuckerberg doesn't mind policing Twitter.
Liar
Haha. There must be pressure from the whitehouse. Either you’re a platform “not liable for contents and you mind your own business and don’t get involved or you play media, get involved and are Liable for the contents n can face lawsuits!!!!
It’s not just about true or false. Social media is about opinion, art, and freedom of expression, any censorship is in-American
If only Trump acted as swiftly issuing executive orders to fight covid, helping ppl who lost jobs, providing PPEs & ordering ventilators as he has trying to censor social media calling out the blatant falsehoods on his posts.
What’s funny about jack and twitter is the fact that 90% of the political topics trending feature far left or (to a much lesser extent) far right conspiracy sites to click on.
It is so good that he is now our conscience.
Whose perception? Harmful to whom? Who gets to choose? This is the problem with relativistic morality: the target is constantly moving according to the winds of the popular ideas. It becomes governance by the squeaky wheel. Not a wise way to go.
Delete your facebook
Why not?
DeleteFacebookNOW trump
Facebook is garbage.
Get off of Facebook!! It’s bad for your mind!
So how can twitter take down itself?
He's little more sane than Jack Dorsey and Susan wojcicki
Ha ha ha. That's a joke.
Social media acts, whether intended or not, as a major source of news for the world. They should be held to the same legal standards as the news media.
We decide what is true but we don’t decide what is false? Wow, where did these tech moguls learn to do double speak?
In other words, conservative views.
It should, I wonder if mr. mark zuckerberg would be comfortable if a rumor was started about him on Facebook or Twitter.
Who the heck is FB to determine what content is or not harmful to someone, or is this part of their continued effort to manipulate our minds, our thoughts, our lives. F... Facebook
Facebook YouTube twitter don't welcome govt regulate them, but they act as a role of censorship by itself. They censor & delete messages by their own interest without clear & open explanation on the guidelines to user & people.
Lies and half-truths are harmful.
with every machine learning model, there's human input. how is that input generated?
What trump is tweeting is harmful
Hypocrisy
As most stories are opinions
f'n facebook I got restricted for saying some kid was peeing on the bushes, cause the bush was half dead... how is that not in guidelines when someone else can say cunt and nothing happens to them.
So he thinks false information isn’t necessarily harmful......interesting.
DeleteFacebook
Who cares anymore
If you have the loudest fog horn it will command attention and what is being broadcast can influence people to action. A disclaimer is needed. 'Anything stated on facebook could be false or true, we have no opinion.'
I don’t have a facebook account, but Donald Trump routinely tweets comments and information that are clearly divisive and harmful. I suspect that he uses FB to do the same.
sounds like a comment FoxNews would make
Isn’t he splitting hairs?
sometimes the Truth is Ugly. But it is never the less THE TRUTH. Sometime Noble Lies are needed when THE TRUTH would do more harm than good. But 'harm' and 'good' are subjective. Right?
Facebook placed a warning on Lincoln Project.
Lock the fool up!
Vivid has their staff low and their algorithms are running amok.
Zuck is a 'provider' pretending not to be a publisher... so he can hide behind CDA 230.
Wtf...talking out of both sides of the mouth. Yes but no?!!... no better than realDonaldTrump flagrant daily nonsense aka lies, aka propaganda. Either you wont be a platform for lies or you will.
Can Zukabaga pick a struggle already
FAKE BOOK ARE GOING TO TAKE THE INFORMATION DOWN ABOUT THE 5G GENOCIDE CRIME - THIS IS A HUMAN RIGHTS CRIME.
This feels a little like a distinction without a difference.
BoycottFacebook
The president and other political leaders should be held to a different standard. Clear lies should be called out with evidentiary facts. Such as there is no evidence of voter fraud in states with mail-voting.
Facebook what happened to Prager University? You saying one thing but doing the opposite. Leave us alone to express ourselves it’s none of your business. If anything is criminal let law enforcement handle it.
He's LYING....
Zuckerberg is full of 💩.
$$$ “We don’t have to make any effort because people will continue to use Facebook whether we do or not” $$$
So lies are not harmful?
Facebook must 'Fact Check', otherwise it becomes an irrelevant platform at least as far as political debate is concerned.
Someone get the fire extinguisher for Mark's pants.
Requests? Only what is neccessary. Other than that you have to take the company in its own direction.
The administration is trying to legally protect their right to mislead and lie. Honesty is no longer a part of the American vocabulary. The rest of the world should side with Twitter. Nothing but the facts m'aam.
'Trump jacked around for two months as COVID swept America, lying, denying it was coming, and failing to prepare this country for the pandemic. But someone pisses him off on Twitter and the government moves like a scalded dog.'
What business are they in? spreading disinformation? Inciting hatred and violence? allowing foreign governments to influence our domestic elections? The 1st amendment is an American article in our constitution. Does not apply to Russia so why give them free speech?
Facebook will if they were in China
So glad I left and closed Facebook once and for all
Spreading fake information is harmful !
Facebook is free to post counter opinions but is not free to police free speech other than hate or criminal activity against one person or group and even then it’s debatable if to let law enforcement handle it.
Unless it’s ProjectLincoln
He may be right in the context of determining what is true or false. Perceived to be harmful in the context of profit driven?
Delete Mr. Suckerberg’s ....Facecrooks
Lol!
When fake news causes harm to our country. C'mon Facebook twitter jack Social media has been a major contributor to the fall of this country & you know it. Police it, or delete it.
How is that possible Aren't they just the same thing False is harmful E.g. Trump has plan to rig the election
Yeah, I stopped using FB and don't regret it one bit. There many other social networking platforms that I use now. Block me and you're blocked forever.
That is bunk. I said to a liberal person 'You are a typical CNN low information type' and was put in FB jail for 30 days. He is a liar.
Delete facebook
'perceived to be harmful'?
It's time to BocottFacebook
You cant expect much from a govt that is broke and why? It wont tax its rich its wealthiest companies the stock market nor consumer sales because it believes wealth domain of the private sector the rich kniw best what to do with it...until a pandemic!
🤣Zuck admits he and his platform do not know the difference between fact and fiction. This is great🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bye bye free speech, it's been cool.
So he will still support realDonaldTrump with all his FAKE news. The only thing finkd wants, is to get more Money!
Zuckerberg a bit too close to Trump and Murdoch. Wild conspiracy theories, unhinged abuse, and lies have the potential to do enormous harm.
Facebook wants some speech Let given them
Agreed, do your research.
Except when it censored the Mourning in America ad, right?
🤮🤮
Donald J. Trump This will be a Big Day for Social Media and FAIRNESS! 대법원에 실증적 방법으로 제출 할 182.1명 모의실연 지원 + 자 제안 + 자 = 미소지기 요즘, 컴퓨터가 들어가 있지 않는 기계를 찾는 것이 더 어렵다.
Fakebook is digital MKUltra
