This week, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared to publicly denounce the political positions of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign during the keynote speech of the company’s annual F8 developer conference.
“I hear fearful voices calling for building walls and distancing people they label as ‘others,’” Zuckerberg said, never referring to Trump by name. “I hear them calling for blocking free expression, for slowing immigration, for reducing trade, and in some cases, even for cutting access to the internet.”
For a developer’s conference, the comments were unprecedented—a signal that the 31-year-old billionaire is quite willing to publicly mix politics and business. Zuckerberg has donated to campaigns in the past, but has been vague about which candidates he and his company’s political action committee support.
Inside Facebook, the political discussion has been more explicit. Last month, some Facebook employees used a company poll to ask Zuckerberg whether the company should try “to help prevent President Trump in 2017.”

A house divided cannot stand, neither can a house invaded. These fools do not deserve the country they inherited, and soon they will no longer have it at all.
“Blocking free expression...” oh, that’s rich, coming from this yutz.
God do i HATE that frigging little TWERP.
sorry god.....
“Oh Gosh, can I go to the bathroom yet?” what kind of trash are people posting now days???
We have all this crap that obuma is trying to finish up before he’s out of office, and we are talking about this ‘junior high school’ crap???
If it weren’t for leftists’ double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all.
They give up all ego in order to work there, or at least pretend that they do. They become like drones and worker bees, processing the honey for their ‘Queen’.
Wo unto whomever becomes a target of their Queen.
That’s when the workers become the killers in hot pursuit.
Its just so unfair that he can't buy influence with the Donald. Let us cry him a river. Poor guy.
Not me.
There is an old saying,"Shoemaker, stick to your last". Zucker should read and heed.
What is the appeal of Facebook anyway? I have a Facebook account, but I rarely go on there and only have it because my daughter lives in another state so I can stay in touch.
Make up an email chain instead.
"Facebook has toyed with skewing news in the past. During the 2012 presidential election, Facebook secretly tampered with 1.9 million user's news feeds. The company also tampered with news feeds in 2010 during a 61-million-person experiment to see how Facebook could impact the real-world voting behavior of millions of people."Zuckerberg is Orwell's "Big Brother" in a dirty t-shirt.
Me neither
They know their place and will do their job to block trump.
Hey he is all in favor of “free expression” as long it it comes from anyone who thinks like him and if they are muslim. Freedom of Speech, free expression etc. once subjective phrases are literally subjective now.
Sounds to me like in in-kind political contribution...quick, someone send a harshly worded letter to the FEC....
Facebook snowflakes will make good slaves for the sharia muslims
