Mark Zuckerberg is setting a"dangerous precedent" by allowing a post by Donald Trump to remain on Facebook, a group of civil rights leaders has warned.The US president's post, about the widespread protests following the death of George Floyd, was hidden by Twitter last week for"glorifying violence".In the post, the president wrote he would"send in the National Guard", and warned that"when the looting starts, the shooting starts".
"He did not demonstrate understanding of historic or modern-day voter suppression and he refuses to acknowledge how Facebook is facilitating Trump's call for violence against protesters. It reported the chief executive had said he had made a"tough decision" but the social network's free speech principles meant that"the right action" was to leave President Trump's post up.
