The Facebook CEO said of a post about shooting alleged looters in Minneapolis: "people need to know if the government is planning to deploy force."

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Friday he wasn’t going to take down President Donald Trump’s posts about shooting alleged looters in Minneapolis nor put a warning on them as Twitter, but he acknowledged he had been"struggling all day" with how to respond.

“I disagree strongly with how the President spoke about this, but I believe people should be able to see this for themselves, because ultimately accountability for those in positions of power can only happen when their speech is scrutinized out in the open,” Zuckerberg said. Trump, Twitter and Facebook have been entangled all week in a debate over how online services should treat the president's words, even fact-checking them, when they conflict with the services' written terms.

Twitter, which had an established rule about glorifying violence, left the message up but put it behind a warning label so that users would need to click through to see it. That further angered Trump, who said the tech company was targeting him. The White House's Twitter handle later posted the same tweet, which was also given the warning label.

Suckerberg created Facebook out of hate for women with good taste in men. It’s no surprise he is aligned with the anti-Christ, Trump.

That because he is a Republican

We all remember the accusations against Facebook in relation to the last elections in America. So am not surprised.

Too busy counting his millions.

Even though this is a right and just, I may just delete FB because it’s old and irrelevant now

a really bad bet on his part !

I AGREEE 100%

Zuckerberg is just a man. Like the rest of us. He has conflicts and is flawed in just the same ways as the rest of us. He just feels more pressure about it.
