Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg reportedly told employees angered by the decision not to remove recent posts by President Donald Trump from the platform that the company may review its policies around the “discussion of state use of force,” potentially censoring President Trump and other world leaders.
The Verge reports that social media giant Facebook has faced internal turmoil after CEO Mark Zuckerberg refused to censor certain posts by President Trump that many employees believed were a call to violence. Last Friday, Twitter censored a tweet from President Trump in which he addressed violent protesters stating, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” behind a warning label noting that the tweet violated Twitter’s rules relating to “glorifying violence.”
Facebook declined to censor the same message, with Zuckerberg stating in a post that while he found the message “deeply offensive,” the company had determined that it did not violate its policy against “incitements to violence.” Since then employees across the company have expressed their anger at the CEO’s decision.

They should all quit.
POTUS plays these azzholes like a fiddle....LOL
Seize the entire company and turn it over to the Department of Agriculture, then we’ll see how much they like socialism.
Doesn’t anyone have any balls anymore? Come on.
Do these social media sites want to increase death by not allowing fair warnings to be made on their platforms?
For fecebook employees down is up, a truth is a lie.
Fine, and you will become a “Publisher” and lose Sec. 230 protections.
Amazing how quickly these lefty websites will buckle under the pressure.
Well done.
Apparently not. You can see that all day long from every “side”.
Whine, cry, moan and groan.
What else should we expect with the PC BS that has been put upon our citizens for many decades now?
We let ourselves be emasculated, and now we’re seeing the results nationwide.
The real question is, are there enough men left in this country to set things right?
It is not his posting policies that Zuckerberg needs to examine ...
It is his hiring policies.
If the company mission is to be a platform that promotes the free and uncensored exchange of legal speech then he should ensure that everyone he hires is on board with that mission.
I worked for Facebook.
For thirteen months, I was a Content Moderator. We basically handled every reported piece that came to us, and attempted to make fast judgments using Facebook’s near-unreadable guidelines.
Working for Facebook was an IT sweatshop, with production quotas that had to be hit each day. Your on-duty time was micromanaged to the minute.
It was common knowledge among the moderators that a special select team, working out of San Antonio, was charged with monitoring and censoring un-PC posting and pro-Trump content. And the crowd on the floor (60% black) heartily approved. It was a hostile work environment for many of us.
He is feeling the heat!!
Great can you doxx these aholes?
“It was a hostile work environment for many of us.”
Suckerberg runs a high-minority sweatshop, eh? Well golllllyyyy.
FReepers on Fascistbook — please consider dumping it.
Remember, there's plenty of Conservative women who will back you up. I had to undergo weapons training for 25 years to keep my Peace Officer status. I can brush up on my target shooting, but I've was always a decent shot.
Technically speaking, we were an “outsourced consultant firm” that did Facebook’s dirty work on FB, Instagram and Whatsapp.
But the SJW SWAT team was entirely in-house FB employees, and not the outsourcers. We were given the scraps from Zuck’s table.
But the Verge did so much PR damage that the firm severed all contact with FB.
Never joined that, or any of them. When some of my friends claim they don't like the site, I tell them to get rid of it, but then they whine that then they wouldn't be able to see pictures of their grandkids. Such BS.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If...if...We didn't love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Women Warriors are just as vital.
Are there enough Patriots left in this country to set things right?
I’d say the majority of American citizens want peace, order, and tranquility, and would welcome a part to bring it about. No normal person likes chaos, except the ones who are lawless, and there’s plenty of them in State and Federal Offices that need to be removed. Hopefully we can start getting that done in November. People are fed up with this crap, and want their lives, and country back.
