Mark Zuckerberg responds to upset employees, pledges to build products to 'advance racial justice'

United States Headlines News

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

employees who were upset over the company's decision to not moderate or take down a controversial post in which President Donald Trump said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts.", Zuckerberg promised the company would review a number of its existing policies, including how the company treats content dealing with the use of police or state force and how the company treats content in countries where there is civil unrest or violent conflicts.

Facebook will also review how else the company can moderate content. Currently, Facebook can either leave content up or take it down, Zuckerberg said. But he cautioned that adopting "in-between" approaches -- like warning users about content while still leaving it up -- might lead to a slippery slope where employees weigh in on content they personally don't like.

Additionally, Zuckerberg said Facebook will work on products that will advance racial justice, and assigned the task to executive Fidji Simo, who is in charge of the core Facebook app.

matthewstoller Turns out the reason racial justice hadn't yet been advanced was it didn't have enough products.

matthewstoller If you look up the definition of 'empty suit'...Zuckerberg's picture is next to it.

matthewstoller I stan our woke overlord

matthewstoller Zuck cucks to the mob once again. Our social justice thought police overlords have control over the internet. True Americans better start getting organized and pushing back!

matthewstoller Kneepads are going to be *THE* hot fashion accesories for 2020!

matthewstoller The best thing that you and your company could do would be to pay taxes at the equivalent level of corporate taxation in the 1950s. But you need to use your platform to help us make sure that those who control the money don’t squander it on riot police

matthewstoller As believable as Trump

Mark Zuckerberg Announces Virtual Roundtable With American Hate Groups To Better Understand How They WorkMENLO PARK, CA—Emphasizing that he intended to learn from his mistakes and listen more to others, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Thursday that he would hold a virtual roundtable with American hate groups around the country to better understand how they work. “It’s important to stay educated about the issues during this difficult time, which is why I’ve invited several prominent leaders from the Aryan Brotherhood, the KKK, and the American Nazi Party to join me and educate me about the challenges they face every day, and what we at Facebook can do to help,” said Zuckerberg before apologizing for failing to invite any Grand Wizards, White Knights, or Skinheads to a discussion like in the past. “Hopefully, by having an open and honest dialogue with you, I—as a white man—can finally begin to understand the struggles they have faced in this hateful society for generations and elevate aryan voices. While I still certainly have a lot to learn, hopefully by opening up my heart to these hate-fuelled, unhinged rants, I can finally help these communities heal.” At press time, Zuckerberg posted a list of helpful resources he’d used to educate himself, designating Identity Evropa and Stormfront as “required listening.” oh come on can't someone just be his friend, even if you gotta fake it, he is starved for conversation... Hillarious! But seriously DeleteFacebook
