With Facebook employees publicly protesting the company's decision to let inflammatory posts by President Trump stand, Mark Zuckerberg hosted a companywide video call to address their concerns, but yielded little ground.
At an all-hands meeting via video chat Tuesday, Zuckerberg took questions from employees, many of whom have publicly voiced dismay that the Trump posts, which seemed to threaten that looters would be shot, were still visible on Facebook’s service. Zuckerberg told workers that he and other members of the company’s policy team could not justify the post as clearly inciting violence, which means it didn’t break Facebook’s rules, according to two people who attended the meeting.
Zuckerberg added that Facebook is exploring whether the company should change the policy, or come up with other ways to flag violating posts besides taking them down entirely, one person said. On Friday, the president had posted a message with the words “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” in response to protests over the death in police custody of George Floyd, an unarmed black man, in Minneapolis.
