Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has angered several members of his team by failing to remove President Donald Trump's controversial post on George Floyd.
At least six Facebookers have condemned CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s decision to leave up U.S. President Donald Trump’s post.
The staff say the president's post has no place on Facebook, adding that they're "disappointed" and "gravely concerned" it has not been removed. At least six Facebook employees have condemned Zuckerberg's decision on Twitter with comments like "Mark is wrong" and "doing nothing is unacceptable." The same post was blocked on Twitter for glorifying violence, with CEO Jack Dorsey taking full responsibility for the decision.
On Friday, Zuckerberg wrote: "I've been struggling with how to respond to the President's tweets and posts all day. Personally, I have a visceral negative reaction to this kind of divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. ... But I'm responsible for reacting not just in my personal capacity but as the leader of an institution committed to free expression."
Jason Stirman, a design manager at Facebook, said he doesn't know what to do. "I'm a Facebook employee that completely disagrees with Mark's decision to do nothing about Trump's recent posts, which clearly incite violence," he said, adding that he wasn't the only one.
