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?
You’re full of sh**, Zuck.
I came directly to your security people with evidence of REAL crimes in progress on Facebook, and you blew me off.
Eff you and your “hate crimes” too.
This should be interesting.
Start liberal censorship, and you’ll also lose all the users you have, as well.
I hate fakebook.
I hate suckerburg.
Whatcha gonna do punk?
Meaning, liberals get a pass - but all the rest of you nasty folks out there... no freedom of speech for you!
The little guy wants to run for President. Has a hard time accepting the foundation of the constitutional republic.
“Zuckerburg Vows to Remove Any ‘Post That Promotes or Celebrates Hate Crimes’ from Facebook”
He is LYING.
So all the aunt tifa and BLM crap is gone?
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
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.
unless dey hate whitey posts right, Suckerturg?
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.
I actually saw a jihadist talking about killing Americans on some post once and turned it in. FB said....nope! We don’t see anything wrong with it. Lol
Censorship: The hallmark of liberals.
