Before the apology, Trump tweeted that he would be “looking into this” with the hashtag “#StopTheBias.”.

I don’t care how big your company is. You don’t want to be on the bad side of the POTUS.

Let’s not all jump to conclusions here. Because I’m sure Facebook has, in the past, mistakenly blocked Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Liz Warren, etc.
/s
That was quick!
social media bans based on complaints. They don’t look into the complaint to see ion it’s true. They try to protect liberal snowflakes from offense. Also they are totally open to being spoofed by people who want to shoot down conservative posters.
Mistakenly. Riiiight.
Then Twitter can “mistakenly” be declared a utility and be regulated into the dirt, you lying SWJ sacks of crap.
Actually they blocked Liz Warren on purpose.
Had to climb down from that ledge as well.
Only after ....

Really? I knew Facebook had problems. But I never took them for anti-Indian bigots.
Vile antisemitic picture shows human remains on a shovel - but Facebook refused to remove it.
Facebook has been accused of "enabling vicious Jewish hatred" after telling users an image depicting human remains on a shovel below the tag line "How to pick up Jewish chicks" did not breach its standards.Just days after back flipping on its decision to censor an iconic Vietnam War photo of a naked girl escaping a napalm bombing, the social media giant is again under fire over its handling of posts reported as offensive.
In reply to complaints about the shovel image - which was widely shared, "liked" 21,000 times, and received more than 37,000 comments - Facebook said: "We reviewed the post you reported for displaying hate speech and found it doesn't violate our community standards."
Under its community standards policy, Facebook says it "removes hate speech" that attacks people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin and religious affiliation.
"We allow humour, satire or social commentary related to these topics, and we believe that when people use their authentic identity, they are more responsible when they share this kind of commentary," the policy says.
The image was posted to a page attributed to a Queensland man late last month and shared 2280 times. It has now been removed but tens of thousands of comments, many of which are anti-Semitic, were still visible in the thread as late as Thursday.
A Facebook spokesman said the image was removed for breaching community standards and that the company was still investigating.
But 24 hours after being asked, the spokesman could still not say when the photo was taken down. Facebook could also not explain why only the photo was initially removed and not the entire thread - which is standard when a post is pulled.
The cyberelites will have to learn that we have a First Amendment guaranteeing free speech precisely because the Founding Fathers knew that lots of people might be offended, hurt, upset by lots of things other people said, and they knew that once you got into trying to protect everyone from ever being so offended, hurt, upset, nobody would be able to say anything - so speech is protected because it can be offensive, not to make sure it never is......
They block a high profile individual and get called on it. They apologize.
They block tens of thousands of Christians and conservatives who have no voice. They get away with it.
So all you need to do is report something as ‘spam’ and they automatically block it... Hmm!
Verdict now, trial later.
And they aren’t even embarrassed about it.
I read from 2016 that Trump told Zuckerberg many times he can have his company regulated..
So... he’s really important and they didn’t know it?
Oh, the horror.
yeah mistake my ass
It's the typical lib belief that all Conservatives are guilty without proof. Conservatives are never considered innocent until proven guilty. Never joined any of those puke sites, and never will.
FB sure has spent a lot of time apologizing. And not much time at all mending their ways.
