Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the social media giant will continue to support free expression and encrypted content on its platform in a new interview.
"This is the new approach, and I think it's going to piss off a lot of people. But frankly, the old approach was pissing off a lot of people too, so let's try something different," Zuckerberg said Friday at the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit in Utah, CNN reported.
"Increasingly we're getting called to censor a lot of different kinds of content that makes me really uncomfortable," Zuckerberg continued.
Zuckerberg said the company's previous goal was not to do anything "too offensive," but that approach is set to change for the global platform. Zuckerberg claimed that Facebook has previously faced excessive censorship, CNN reported.
However, he added that Facebook does have a responsibility to remove content on terrorism, child exploitation and messages, posts or other media that could incite violence.
"We're going to take down the content that's really harmful, but the line needs to be held at some point," Zuckerberg said, CNN reported.
Facebook drew backlash last year over its policy not to remove political advertisements that contain misinformation, defending the policy as free speech. Zuckerberg has previously said that, It's really important that people can see for themselves what politicians are saying, so they can make their own judgments.

Zuck is getting a taste of just what his left would be like under Dem rule I dont think he likes it!!! There is a saying about being a Lib before 30 and always a pubbie after 30 HOWEVER this saying didnt seem to wrk for Bezos!!!
Facebook has been censoring people in Europe for a while now. They just use a different company to do it for them.
Democrats have a very clear definition of “free speech”.
They get to speak. You do not.
Zuckerberg is the best salesman that MeWe has.
Commie’s want to control everything.
> “I honestly dont think Zuckerberg is that bad of a guy.”
He’s a bad guy all right. He’s also stupid.
No, his billions were Wall St. funny paper deratives set up for him to be the symbol of the new Tech Lord.
He also didn’t invent the code for FB. It was hatched in DARPA where it was known as LifeLog and was designed to be a series of spy tools capable of capturing who mingled with who in case someone or some group came under the radar.
Zuckerturd was just the convenient flunky that could be attached to a new ‘enterprise and TA DA! Instant Billionaire and a movie to exalt him as a supreme techie.
The reason he’s backpedaling now away from the globalist Bilderberg aholes is because Trump had in the Oval Office and let him know the game was up and that he’d better choose well.
That’s what’s happening.
One political forum? That wouldnt work.

The Leftwing Dem thugs are lying about FB in order to push it further to the Left.
This line of reasoning always struck me as Democrats having an extremely low opinion of their constituents intellect...
Just get rid of the commercials. I spend half an hour deleting the things. Wheelchairs, Dentures, Pills, rubs, Snake Oil, worse than TV if you can get more stupid than that. I want to see all adds for Medications and doctors taken off TV. Cancer or Spine Centers..your ins won’t cover them. Meds have so many side effects they are not safe.
I use an add-on to Facebook that blocks ads.
Adblock Pro, Ghostery, and Fluffbuster make it easy to miss the Bloomberg ads...
