Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg said Friday the social media giant will reexamine its policies against violent threats and voter suppression after facing intense backlash over its recent handling of incendiary posts by President Donald Trump, particularly from its own employees., Zuckerberg said he wanted to “acknowledge the real pain expressed by members of our community” over the company’s decision not to take any action on a Trump post that appeared to threaten protesters with violence.
Zuckerberg also teased an array of other possible follow-up actions, including making the company’s decision-making process on content decisions more transparent, expanding the diversity of groups involved in shaping its decisions and creating new products that “advance racial justice.” But the post contained little to no concrete commitments.
Facebook has been hit with intense scrutiny since leaving up a Trump post about protesters that read, in part, "When the looting starts, the shooting starts."as “embarrassing” and cowardly, while Republicans have lauded the restraint citing free speech concerns.
SethAbramson Blah blah blah
I am Jewish just so you know I think you should thnk If Facebook was around during the Nazis would you edit the lies they told about jews?
However, if my analysis of such individuals I would welcome examples that contradict my world view.
People DON'T change until they feel pain. Zuckerberg, like most powerful, wealthy individuals have NO incentive to change their behavior.
Sure! Words are easy, especially from powerful billionaires. It is incumbent upon the users of FAKEBOOK to cancel their memberships.
Censor Facebook and NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX will be next.
Which means absolutely NOTHING! 😳😡
Talk is cheap
I don’t believe him. He is the male Susan Collins!
Starting to feel the pain Marky boy? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh so they're going to start banning the millions of leftists promoting killing cops, white people, and conservatives in general? Or just the right wingers advocating self defense when attacked violently?
Will he? Did he? Let’s see.
Screw him it's too late and he's a gutless wonder.
I won’t hold my breath. Like many bright people, don’t have sense to come in out of the rain.
Zuck chose a side - Trump.
All shall kneel
Fuck Facebook. Shut it down.
Who is this very white boy? More and more he reminds me of Jared K...
SethAbramson Wanna bet it's all talk? Zuckerberg is a coward and lacks any spine to do the right thing.
He won’t do shit.
SethAbramson Facebook will do nothing under MZ. FB Will continue to sell our private info as long as we let them. Never had a FB account and never will.
DeleteYourFacebookAccount
SethAbramson About time to about face
Zuckerberg is incompetent running Facebook.
MarkZuckerberg is a fascist boot licker!
❤️
SethAbramson Everyone just needs to delete their Facebook account.
ppppppppppft ya right
😍👍
SethAbramson Revisit = hopefully you’ll forget in a couple of weeks and we won’t have to deal with it.
SethAbramson That sounds about as promising as a Susan Collins stern letter
Cancel Facebook July 4th
I look forward to the day when facebook becomes about as relevant as myspace.
He's worthless
SethAbramson Cheap talk, we’ll believe it when we see it.
Zuckerberg being reactive rather than proactive. Tells you everything you need to know about him. BoycottFacebook Facebook
He ain’t gonna do nothing. He’s a racist loser like his p1mp Trump
SethAbramson Don’t like FB.
He is a hypocrite!! Facebook will block you for hours or days when you post half of what Trump says. We have Facebook post talking hanging black people but that's free speech right? Double standard and hypocrisy...
MykalWane Why I haven't had a FB since 2012.
SethAbramson
Boycott FACEBOOK
How many times has he promised to do so?Up to now nada.
Sifill_LDF Oh look he's been forced to pretend to give a shit about something people care about. Again.
Zuckerberg is such a let-down, such a disappointment. Has to wait for backlash in order to do the right thing.
Do the right thing Markus
As a matter of record, I have already designated taking the entirety of Murdoch’s, Zuckerburg’s and Musk’s assets as damages under the settlement agreement, The Declaration of Liberty or Death. Loyalists to the coalition of Civilized Nations will lose everything they have. -API🌅
Pitiful
itsabouttime
I already deleted my Facebook account and will NOT be rejoining because of Mr. Zuckerberg and his political alignment with Trump! BoycottFacebook PutZuckerbergOut ofBusiness TrumpEnabler GreedyTechCompany
Imagine that
Revisiting is lip service.
SethAbramson All talk. He has to say something but won't really do anything.
Knew things would start changing little by little when the winds started changing a giant Trump. Little weasel like Zuck will do a little something now if it means he might not have as tough of a time with the next admin. He’s been playing this game for too long.
Good
SethAbramson Just drop them. Finito
be careful what you wish for, folks. sides change.
Sifill_LDF Under Zuckerberg, Facebook revisits its ethics the way many families visit their grandparents. Visit infrequently, usually when asked, try not to wrinkle your nose too much at the funny smell, and get out of there as early as you can without creating a scene.
DaddyLou13 Mark Zuckerberg can kiss my ass. He's one of the major things wrong with this country today.
Sifill_LDF Just a bit late there Marky.
crvaughn1368 Jesus H Christ you drag your feet.
SethAbramson FuckFacebook
SethAbramson I’m sure Zuck will revisit straight through the RNCConvention that he’s cosponsoring
Facebook is a disaster for information.
SethAbramson And after making a superficial change, he’ll revert back to how he was doing things. That’s his SOP.
SethAbramson Why is Zucker being such a dink
Regulate Facebook or break it up.
SethAbramson Maybe in a few years, but empty words for now.
SethAbramson Too little too late. DeleteFacebookNow FuckZuck
SethAbramson Ha. Because this last week has been a massive backlash from FB advertisers.
SethAbramson What’s there to revisit? This is just a stall tactic.
SethAbramson It takes massive public pressure before rich bastards will do the right thing. Let’s try to remember that going forward.
SethAbramson It isn't going to work.
SethAbramson He better.
SethAbramson Facebook was founded as a misogynist’s response to being dumped to rank the looks of female students. As if he has one thing going for him besides wealth.
SethAbramson 'Mark Zuckerberg realises he's on the wrong side of history, tries backpeddling' fixed the title for you.
Brenda_Resister Someone nneds to investigate whether he is an amoral 1%er and Trump supporter who is now adjusting his attitude to avoid loss of stock value in Facebook. That’s what appears to be happening.
SethAbramson Save it Mark. When the dems take over in november then you can worry.
SethAbramson Why must it always take intense backlash
SethAbramson Israeli kind of BS response
Too late
Is he still selling political ads and getting paid in rubles?
Zuckerberg is a foney and a lieing cheat.
Too little. Too late
He still has the most punchable face in the world.
After the next US presidential election perhaps?
I deleted me fb account bc of this punk.
Because everyone stopped using FB
Remove Facebook if they'll let you. This is a serious question. Why are white men like this so angry? White men are at the top of the country’s racial caste system. What is the reason for the hatred?
Once again, AOC was right.
Revisit this, Zuck: 🖕🏼
Fascinating
Facebook? Better check and see if my Granny sent me a message there.
Offs.
And there it is folks - money wins
Don’t just revisit, do something!
Ah, the old check is in the mail tactic. He will delay, and do nothing.
DeleteFacebook
Zuck you Fuckerberg!!!
Apply that pressure to his neck!
Boy 👋
Good. But let's see if this is more than empty words.
Censorship based on mob threats
Delete Facebook
