Zuckerburg Vows to Remove Any ‘Post That Promotes or Celebrates Hate Crimes’ from Facebook
breitbart ^ | LUCAS NOLAN

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared last week that the social media site was dedicated to removing any content “that promotes or celebrates hate crimes.” Mark Zuckerberg posted to Facebook recently condemning the recent events at Charlottesville which saw three deaths over the course of the weekend as far-left and far-right protesters clashed. The Facebook CEO stated that the company would be watching out for rallies in the future, stating, “With the potential for more rallies, we’re watching the situation closely.”

“We won’t always be perfect, but you have my commitment that we’ll keep working to make Facebook a place where everyone can feel safe,” he claimed.

Zuckerberg also stated, “there is no place for hate in our community. That’s why we’ve always taken down any post that promotes or celebrates hate crimes or acts of terrorism — including what happened in Charlottesville.” Zuckerberg did not, however, expand on what constitutes hate speech, but did note that Facebook was “watching closely” and would “take down threats of physical harm.”

Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a group that has previously been accused of branding websites and organizations as “hate groups” for political purposes, is reportedly working with Facebook to target certain groups. Beirich told WTSP that the group “had a really productive conversation with Facebook” and that “a lot of neo-Nazis have abandoned Facebook. They are much more responsive and they have told us they are going to redouble their efforts.”

Perhaps that is because nobody is ripping the hammer out of their hands, and pounding a nails into their thick skulls.

We need to inundate him with posts that promote hate crimes by left wingers. See if he honors his pledge.

I haven’t a clue why anyone would patronize Mark Zuckerberg, but that said what are the mechanics of FB identifying an ‘offinsive’ post? Are there moderators or do certain words kick off the red lights?

Yes, part of the deception of the last days by those who lick the ballet shoes of Obama. All why he pushed agendas from the pit of Hell.

I've met them. And yes, they scared me like a cult of the Antichrist. And there were more than a couple of them. What insane lunatic misappropriates John 3:16 and attaches it to Obama? VERY Antichrist-like. A sign of the times.

Things that ought to grab the attention of any Christian who understands Bible Prophecy:

Start liberal censorship, and you’ll also lose all the users you have, as well.

We won’t always be perfect

Meaning, liberals get a pass - but all the rest of you nasty folks out there... no freedom of speech for you!

"All in the eye of the beholder, which is why free speech is all speech, even hate speech."

Free speech comes with responsibility...nothing is ever free not even our "rights".

The term “Black Lives Matter”, in and of itself, is a pure, unadulterated term of hate . . . ban that you leftist hypocrite

All in the eye of the beholder, which is why free speech is all speech, even hate speech.

Big Tech doesn't care about freedom of speech, or equal time, or fair and balanced, or opposing viewpoints.

Toe the liberal line or get silenced.

The manner at which Google kicked the vile Nazi site "Daily Stormer" off the internet should've opened people's eyes. It was a dry run, to see how easy it is.

Daily Stormer today, Free Republic, Breitbart, InfoWars, etc. tomorrow. Make it so search engines can't find them, nobody can advertise on their sites, and they can't raise any money.

It's coming and it's coming fast. Mark my words, Google is going to be taking "hate sites" off-line as fast as Confederate statues are coming down.

What's a hate site? Whatever ADL, SPLC, and ProPublica says they are.

BLM riots have routinely included arson, vandalism, and physical attacks.

Antifa has also attacked people and property.

It is a given that advocates of both will remain on Facebook while nonviolent proponents of other views will be censored.

Facebook got rid of what made it unique and is now just a cheap copy of other social networks.
