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.”

All in the eye of the beholder, which is why free speech is all speech, even hate speech.
Will bible-believing Christians feel safe?
They’re gonna need a bigger staff...........................
Liberals are busily pounding nails in the coffin of free speech.
freedom dies little by little each time.
No teenager likes 'Mombook' anymore.
Hey Mark!
Define “hate crime”.
Is it a “hate crime” to note that most homosexuals were sexually molested as children?
Islamists being targeted by Facebook? Not on your life!
From Facebook?
All my Democrats friends are posting pics of Swastikas on Facebook.
Obviously he doesn’t mean postings by m*slims celebrating the murder of human beings.
Could never get into the day to day of Facebook.
It always seemed too close to Farcebook to me.
Hey, look at me, I’m at xxxxxx.
Good grief, get a life!
[Zuckerberg also stated, “there is no place for hate in our community.]
How are those walls outside your mansion doing these days, Zuckerberg? Have you moved 100 unknown foreigners in with you yet? If not, why not?
Or is it a "hate crime" to note that,according to the official CDC website,perverts account for two-thirds of the nations syphilis cases?
[Will bible-believing Christians feel safe?]
Just as long as you don’t quote the Bible or mention anything “Christian” and march in lock-step with Nazi Obama Leftist Liberal Lies.
I’m seeing a lot of Antifa posts on Facebook threatening me and my family.
Are they coming down too?
However, it okay for others to INCORRECTLY quote the Bible when it suits them.
According to the information being passed around on FB, nothing is mentioned about homosexuality in the Bible. It is all made up by Bible thumping Christians. “It is all false.” Tempted to ask the people pushing the lies if they have ever read the Bible.
No matter his money and walled off estate, Zuckerberg best be careful he’s not “removed” - from the living. Rump swabs like him eventually piss off the wrong person.
OK, so if that’s the plan then anyone who attacks wealth creation (read: who speaks ill of the top “1%”) should be banned for hate speech. Start with Obama, Elizabeth Warren, most Dems.
The top 1% are: doctors, surgeons, engineers, lawyers, accountants, financial planners - high skilled Americans....
