Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will revisit its policies against violent threats and voter suppression after facing intense backlash over its recent handling of President Trump's incendiary posts
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.
