After days of internal complaints from employees over the company’s handling of President Donald Trump’s posts, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he would review policies around discussions of state use of force and voter suppression.... [+]Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty ImagesZuckerberg said the company is reviewing policies about “allowing discussion and threats of state use of force” and voter suppression amid the pandemic .
While Twitter chose to flag Trump’s post saying “when the looting starts, the shooting starts,” Facebook chose to leave it up because, Zuckerberg said, it doesn’t violate policies around inciting violence. Zuckerberg also said he would consider a policy whereby posts similar to Trump’s would be put behind a warning, but said worries “this approach has a risk of leading us to editorialize on content we don't like even if it doesn't violate our policies, so I think we need to proceed very carefully.”
The CEO said he put a team together to work on “building products to advance racial justice” and said he stands with the black community: “I stand with you. Your lives matter. Black lives matter,” he said.“We have so far to go to overcome racial injustice in America and around the world, and we all have a responsibility and opportunity to change that. I believe our platforms will play a positive role in this, but we have work to do to make sure our role is as positive as possible.
