Facebook employees have spoken out in anger over CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to leave up President Trump's controversial post.
At least six Facebook employees have condemned CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to leave up President Trump’s post.
Violent protests have erupted in cities across the U.S. over the last few days after a white Minneapolis police officer killed Lloyd, an unarmed black man, by kneeling on his neck for nine minutes. The White House's official Twitter account later retweeted Trump's first post with the content that was hidden by the microblogging site for violating its policies. Twitter has now hidden this tweet as well.
He added: "I disagree strongly with how the President spoke about this, but I believe people should be able to see this for themselves, because ultimately accountability for those in positions of power can only happen when their speech is scrutinized out in the open."Jason Toff, director of product management at Facebook, said he wasn't proud of how the company was "showing up," adding that most of his co-workers feel the same.
