FILE - In this Friday, Oct. 25, 2019, file photo, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks about "News Tab" at the Paley Center, in New York. Dozens of scientists doing research funded by Zuckerberg say Facebook should not be letting President Donald Trump use the platform to spread "misinformation and incendiary statements.” Sixty professors at leading U.S. research institutions signed a letter Saturday, June 6, 2020, asking Zuckerberg to be less tolerant of harmful language.
BOSTON — Dozens of scientists doing research funded by Mark Zuckerberg say Facebook should not be letting President Donald Trump use the social media platform to “spread both misinformation and incendiary statements.” Their mission “is antithetical to some of the stances that Facebook has been taking, so we’re encouraging them to be more on the side of truth and on the right side of history as we’ve said in the letter,” said Debora Marks of Harvard Medical School, one of three professors who organized it.
They said the letter had more than 160 signatories. Shepherd said about 10% are employees of foundations run by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.
Zuck may be that 'sociopath next door.' This is why he not only ignores people's suffering, he facilitates it; from the rampant dismissal of his users' call for customer support to his insistence on giving a platform to hatemongers and indifference towards the ensuing violence.
He seems like a user and bum anyway!
Why appeal to him? Mark Zuckerburg is not that bright. He is just a rich guy who got rich because this country is so greedy that there are absolutely ridiculous ways for ppl to make and retain absurds amounts of money.
Quixotic_Moron Pardon ? $$$$$$
Zuckerberg looks like Data off Star Trek the Next Generation
He’s a disgrace only cares about $$$$
AP one of the most respected real news services. science COVID19 ClimateAction

Smart people!
Wow. Must be real critical thinkers to want someone else's freedom of speech curtailed. Stick to science, kids. Politics doesn't suit you.
Facebook Twitter
But Zuckerberg will allow it anyway
Scientists spread more misinformation than the President.
I sold all my FB stock and I encourage every ethical share holder to join me.
He’s another Trump Putz
😬😬😬
Has Zuckerberg deluded himself into thinking that allowing Trump free rein fits in a good business philosophy or is he boyishly stubborn or both. Does he not mind being on Putin's and autocracy's side?
By that logic, Facebook should block everyone posting about “burning the country down” in protest! When a publicly-held company is being asked to curb free-speech, especially of the president, the fall of US democracy has begun. The question is: “who is behind it?”
🤣
Zuckerberg is Kushner with curly hair. Two pale whiners w/out spines, in mortal terror of losing their toys & status.
If you have to write him a letter, then .....
Kudos to the scientist. He wants to be able to put propaganda on social media. Exactly what’s wrong with social media. FakeNews
So what what about Trumps point of view? You don’t dare share that you bias pigs
The 'good' funded by .ChanZuckerberg could never ever come close to offsetting the 'bad' amplified a million times over by facebook policies enabling the 'spread of deliberate misinformation.' facebook is for cute cat videos, period, full stop.
kenm77 Recommend this article. 60 professors put it well to Zuckerberg.
kenm77 Got to grab a coffee to read this one.
It's to late Zuckerberg is already compromised
Indpnd shall you listen please!!
Everyone should just deactivate their account. There are other options.
WE NEED ZUCKERBERG TO TAKE OVER THIS BROKEN PREJUDICE SYSTEM. CHANGE WILL ONLY COME WHEN WE GET ALL THE OLD PREJUDICE WHITE PEOPLE/OLD BLACKS OUT THE WH. 6YR LIMIT. ALL YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO TAKE OVER THIS WH. & RUN THINGS. ALL THESE SORRY PEOPLE ARE SET IN THEIR WAYS DOING NOTHIN
MARK I THINK U SHOULD RUN FOR PRESIDENT. WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE WH. IN ORDER FOR US TO HAVE CHANGE WE GOT TO GET THE OLD PREJUDICE WHITE PEOPLE OUT. EVERYONE THAT'S BEEN THERE OVER 6YRS. HAS TO BE VOTED OUT. WE NEED YOUNG PEOPLE IN WH. OLD PEOPLE ARE SET IN THEIR WAYS. URUN
It is those so-called scientists who are doing both!
Imagine Zuck doing anything but taking right winger money and making excuses. To be fair that is his entire business model on FB. It's pretty much a right wing hellhole full of racist aunts and uncles.
Every time people pulled their head out of the sand Hitler had invaded another country. Eventually they had to take a stand. Stand up to racism Mark.
Stay in your lane, don’t try to throw your title “scientist” out in hopes you get the expert stamp of approval in something for which you have no qualifications.
The issue is not just about a black lives matter, but also about to all human lives matter wherever ethnic communities live around this planet because racism is present in every corner of the planet.
Fuck Mark Zuckerberg...
Zuckerberg, Son of Bill Gates
The tRump administration obviously has dirt on him.
Desperate dirtbags ✌ November isn't coming quick enough
He is traitor to America
Cambridge analytica .People in facebook is so brainwashed .Pres Duterte used the propaganda during His Pres bid Election acting ascreluctant candidate
Looks almost human
Should he learn.
No wondering he didn't dare to mention his Asian wife!
The cabals at it... when they distort and twist the truth and misinform us it is all fine. It is their prerogative. But when one stands for what he believes in and speaks his truth it is an abomination.
Stand strong MarkZuckerberg and do not allow your leftist friends to urge you out of existence
These social media sites are trying to manipulate the entire politics for there goals
Silversworth
If he is Smart, he will listen.
Do it. DO IT! It will end so well for you.
Remove President Trump from the headline and insert AP. Fixed it for ya
What about Free Speech? If you don’t agree with someone, you can block his comments, but once you start silencing people -even if you don’t agree with them- everybody looses
shut down everything except misery
'Scientist' AP is propaganda.
Defund them 🤷🏼♂️
Scientists?
Traitor
I can’t think of a better way to ring in their replacements. That’s exactly why twitter and Facebook would never ban trump. Wherever he went would be the new twitter or Facebook.

Don’t scientists have better things to do than police speech?
Dozens of scientists embarrassing themselves, repeatedly.
Dude, wake up!

Do it. I double dog dare you!

One day, just for one day if every single person who has a Facebook account deletes their accoun, they will start listening

Zuckerberg's flunkies on his payroll don't carry much weight with the rest of the world but AP is desperate for new crap to stir the pot. Go back to your labs and find a cure for the common cold and make history. STFU. Trump 2020.
twmentality1 Look at that face, those eyes. Some cold ass vibes coming from that look...
cyoung7984 Not that Mark Z cares, but this is exactly why I deleted my Facebook account last week, after more than 10 years.. He's not going to do anything differently until lots of us do the same en masse.
Another bad hair day for Trump's buddy Zuckerberg ?
twmentality1 While we work on defunding the police, later comes ridding the country then planet of billionaires.
Deface your Facebook
'SUCKERBERG'S' SCREWED UP IDEOLOGY IS ALIGNED W/TRUMP, REGIME, 'MOSCOW MITCH' & THE REPUBLICAN PARTY; PLUS HE HAS NO MORALS OR ETHICS.
To deactivate your account: Click in the top right. Select Settings & Privacy Settings. Click Your Facebook Information in the left column. Click Deactivation and Deletion. Choose Deactivate Account, then click Continue to Acc. Deactivation and follow instructions to confirm.
Freedom of speech not so free?
I bet you Stephen Miller and Zuckerberg are besties
Scientists are the last people to be telling the rest of us what is right, pull your heads out of your collective asses
At this point, Trump's own worst enemy is his own dumb self.
Time to end Facebook and Zuckerberg.
I would say, broadcast anything he wants through his own account, but everything else, simply apply common sense standards of propriety and ascertainable reality.
Everything is incendiary on Facebook!
No more Zuckerberg and NO MORE TRUMP!
That’s the same thing everyone asked for past 3.5 years. Zuck hires “fact-checker” yet failed to use them because of Trump
There you go again with your racist censorship Zuckerberg!
OR: Zuck tells lackeys to deride science, question cause & effect and attack Trump who knows them better than they know themselves. Zuck asks them what science is? They reply: it depends on who's paying for it. Science: You can't have an opinion about what an opinion is.

These are known in business circles as 'consultants' and their very survival is 100% dependent on telling those hiring them exactly what they want to hear. Paying them as 'experts' puts an imprimatur of legitimacy on the BS they've been paid for.
tinkerbelledc And then they were ignored. DeleteFacebook
So what?
I hope they try Trump, he will take them all down! 🏳️🌈GAY4TRUMP🏳️🌈
Zuckerberg is a Zucker. He doesn't give a shit about our nation. He's willing to sell his own mom out. Facebook ZuckerbergIsATraitor realDonaldTrump
Ignore him. He's not going away.
This picture makes him look like he can't compute something.
Zuckerberg is not known for doing the right thing ... he's been prosrcuted in Europe for years ....
Think abt that for a minute
Bravo!! 👏🏾
When you finally realize who has talked you into carrying around a device that is the most sinister data collection vehicle of all time you won’t be able to recognize it right in your own hand 🖐🏻 say good by to privacy 🤔😳🤔😜‼️
Facebook should not aloud kids under 16
Dude couldn’t get laid if his dick sprayed 100 dollar bills
Suckerberg: We have to make sure we do our duty to sway the electorate so that the guy we want gets in power. He’s already confirmed he’ll do our bidding, provided Hunter gets a seat at the board.
Enough censoring. This is getting critical
LisaKBromley Zuckerberg is as racist as trump.
Get it together Facebook Your leader is putting his needs above our country. FactCheckTrump
Who fuckin knew the harbinger of the apocalypse would look like this.
All I see is Trump propaganda on FB anymore. Let the racist have it!
The bullying continues..
Facebook continues to SILENCE BLACK WOMEN. My account is being TARGETED by them and I’m looking for a LAWYER ASAP. I want 5MILLION FROM MARK for allowing me to be ABUSED and doing nothing but when I defend myself. In jail for 30days! Contact me LAWYERS ASAP
Tough shit. It’s a free nation. I’ve never seen trump spread falsehoods but spicy tweets... yes, he has.
Facebook DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebookNOW
One can be a billionaire and not be an asshole.
So Trump can’t speak the truth, Burnrhe media terrorists can spews lies and misinformation. Rrrrriiiggghhhhttttt.
Request by scientists is insane. This sounds like communist party. I am tired of this leftists agenda that is destroying America.
Science?
They’re trying hard to silence conservatives! We don’t stand for it. We’re the silentmajority!
Disgusting. These people need to get out of their bubble for a while. Who the hell do they think they are to make any rules about what someone says? None of their f&$g business.
Also, don't ever forget the scientists who worked for Hitler. Scientists are often without a moral compass.
TRUTH MATTERS! WH/GOV. IN DEMOCRACY Should Be Accountable to the People! Lives Depend Upon It! NEVER FORGET! '.....Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.' -Martin Niemöller
Here is a free hint America! You don’t need Facebook. You have email and texting! Wake up.
but it is okay if the left does it Trump2020NowMoreThenEver
I hope zuckerberg stops funding those scientists. I cringe every time I see or hear Trump. But I will defend his right to freedom of speech. Don't forget. Facists stop people from speaking their mind. Vote Libertarian!
WILL MIKE ZUCKERBERG HEAR THE CALL?
Misinformation in their eyes.
Be honest now. Change Zuckerberg-funded to Zuckerberg-bought.
❤😍
'Incendiary statements'
brooklynmarie
Haha.
deleteInstagram DeleteFacebookNow DeleteFacebook DeleteWhatsApp
Don’t forget, people voted for this president!
The Zuk thinking:
But everybody else have at it
TeresaMWalker He won't...i bet he won't
BGHeaven He'll take that up with Papa Putin... lol.
3L3V3NTH And all right wing conspiracies and incendiary lies!
Literally dozens of scientist. Shocking. I wonder what their political affiliation is?
More shit from the so call media
Is there a kangaroo court that socially defines 'misinformation' and 'incendiary' in the context of a world leader's viewpoint. I mean, are you people insane? And those of you cheering this on are fucking CLUELESS.
Lol.
Would be the biggest mistake of your life.
FuckZuck
Facebook should kick off the media for their bullshit
Most of what Trump says is honestly his perspective or opinion - Take it or leave it
My entire newsfeed is broken today. I may have pissed him off somehow. 🤔😁
You mean like the media saying hydroxychloroquine doesn't work? 🤧
czi cziscience ICYMI
Facebook twice blocked this article from my page. I took a snapshot from it... also deleted by Facebook.
Most of what Trump days is honestly his perspective or opinion Take it or leave it
Where do you draw the line in that cesspool of misinformation? Both sides have mastered that art
What happens when news organizations post inaccurate or false information?
Mark wants to be remembered for helping to destroy America!
His real name is Jacob Greenberg ‼️ Grandson of David Rockefeller and he serves the GLOBALISTS ‼️👁 ‼️
if that was the case the media wouldn't be allowed to post anything
Let us know. I'll sell my FB stock & say goodbye forever to FB.
Hes driven by money above all
If that's the criteria for being banned from FB, it's going to be a pretty desolate platform.
But it suits his purpose to do so
The fucken media is responsible for the disinformation. Take a few minutes and scroll back on any media time line the past 4 years. How accurate is it? most of it completely laughable. They are actively trying to scare and divide us it’s fucken time we wake up. Accountability!!
What about the lies of the left
paid Progressive hacks lying to us again. either the 1A is for everyone or it is for no one
But it’s ok if people live stream murder on facebooks platform?
bluewatch4 Facebook doesn't care. Or at least, Zuckerberg doesn't care. He is actively trying to get Trump reelected. He has a far Right publication as his fact-checkers. DELETE YOUR FACEBOOK ACCOUNT.
Do they also want Zuckerberg to censor the AP? That would be great.
This goes for trump and anyone else who has a platform. Some people are dumb enough to be persuaded by anything they hear it's a responsibility to protect them from their stupidity.
And how DARE THEY!!
The same should apply to democrats. Republicans get to decide what is allowed.
Yea, but think of the $$$$
But it will be ok for FB to own your paycheck and fill your cereal bowl. Always an agenda. ALWAYS AN AGENDA. WAKE THE FK UP
Wouldn’t it also make sense for people to just delete their account.
Everyone lies on FB! They should have their platform status removed. lawyers would appreciate the suits, and cash!
Of course not only a fool would allow this if he wants his co. To survive
Dozens? Wtf. Holy shit look out. AP your a joke.
How about we just don't censor people. Thanks
He is a trump lap dog
Cons can't win without spreading misinformation and incendiary statements.
The same “scientists” that were paid off by CHINA!!!! Scumbags!!!
Freedom of speech
'scientists'?
No wonder Facebook is so bad
DeleteFacebook Look at this dude. People willingly give him personal information 4 FREE?!?! Tracking non-users is where We draw the line. Time 4 creepy 2 beat it.
Facebook needs to go the way of MySpace. I already bid it adios. VoteOutHate VoteTrumpOut2020
When you exempt anyone from the rules they aren't rules anymore - they're selective oppression.
Free speech?
We are looking forward to Trump getting booted off of Facebook and/or Twitter
Yep keep stifling free speach!
if you band trump you must band Biden and ever other politician.
And let me guess, the money vampire just stared back at them with icy, unfeeling shark eyes?
I think this is called fascist censorshipism.
FAKE NEWS! All those scientists were replaced with more cyborgs! An army of Zuckerborgs is coming! Mark my words! They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
Just have an online grading system done between FB and Twitter. Let people rate the platforms based on looks, and other superficial qualities. Zuckerberg will pay attention.....
If he does I am gone from FB
He won’t. He’s a pathetic, little guy just like Trump.
I’m sure he’s gonna jump right on that....
these guys?
Terrorists are fine, though.
finkd is stubborn, arrogant, entitled, and, consequently, dismissive of attempts to educate ... These aren't the first group to breach this topic with him to no avail A group of prominent civil rights leaders also encountered his obstinance
Oh my goodness MSM have to make corrections constantly
Apparently this gets you suspended in Zuckerbergs world.
La diffusion de la désinformation et d'affirmations incendiaires est le travail des journalistes mainstream qui ont tant caricaturer ses propos qu'il ne lui restait que ces plateforme 2.0 pour être entendu sans filtre déformant. La censure du POTUS est la suite logique...
Zuckeberg is the only boss I know where his employees and his beneficiaries are telling him how to run his company!
But, have agreed that Joe Biden callling 30-40 million Americans bad people is ok.
DeleteFacebook
Facebook, the online ghetto...
If Zuckerberg determines that Trump will lose the election, he will act against him and switch sides. Just like all cowardly traitors do.
Facebook disabled Democracyworldwide; a community page dedicated to the advancement of human rights through democracy; but allows the autocrat wannabe in the white house to: 'spread both misinformation and incendiary statements.'
It shouldn't be just Trump, the rubbish I see circulated on Facebook is ridiculous! From Nigerian princes to QAnon and lizard run inoculation vaccine conspiracies.
Only Trump ? I'd defund their research.
The irony is THICC
Fascism in action, try to use mob action to silence people you hate. Twitter bent over and now look so stupid. Why, what they fact checked Trump about was factually correct. And also not fact checking other liberals made a mockery of their action
These so-called educators are now speaking like they work for communist China..SMH! 🙄👻
If scientists need to tell you to stop sucking up to Trumpoids, you have a bigger problem than you think.
Scientist? Right , you mean left wing indoctrinated little “woke” babies who came out of some socialist college program?
Can’t agree more to the scientists.
Scientists shouldn’t be dictating who can say things and who can’t. This is America and liberals are acting like fascists
Scientists are working in Russia and China. The USA once owned them and they worked for respectable Bureauracies like Nasa and Darpa. All of them were dumped and most were not traitors. So Zuckerberg picked them up and turned them into wusses.
Hiel FBuckerberg.
The only scientist I listen to is, scientist man from redlettermedia
This is fake news , give the names of 'these scientists'
It's a pickle
The same idiots that STILL can't figure out how to cure cancer. 👌🤣
Awww Poor babies said something they don't like!
Scientists? Haven’t we just witnessed scientists get the whole COVID pandemic wrong?
Mark, mark your line, people will leave you... Trump is not forever.
A Sciencebook would be a good idea against Facebook 's pro-Trump *misinformation & incendiary statements*. FacebookNotFascistbook
He is supporting Trump all the way and he will lose CEO job in Facebook
Have you noticed it's leftists who are either funded by others or on govt welfare that want to silence others?
What kind of scientists are they?
Same 'Scientists' are saying massive gatherings for protesting trump is an acceptable risk......Not church though.
When are people going to work out it needs to be turned off?
