Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday said he would consider changes to the policy that led the company to leave up controversial posts by President Donald Trump during recent demonstrations protesting the death of an unarmed black man while in police custody, a partial concession to critics.

Zuckerberg did not promise specific policy changes in a Facebook post, days after staff members walked off the job, some claiming he kept finding new excuses not to challenge Trump. “We’re going to review our policies allowing discussion and threats of state use of force to see if there are any amendments we should adopt,” he wrote. “We’re going to review potential options for handling violating or partially-violating content aside from the binary leave-it-up or take-it-down decisions.”

Facebook’s policy is either to take down a post or leave it up, without any other options. Now, Zuckerberg said, other possibilities would be considered.

This guy is always reacting. Wonder how he could become so successful?

Zuckerberg has sold his soul for the $$$. FB has no moral ground or basis for its operations. It is purely a BUSINESS. It needs to be controlled through the wallet. Boycott FB

Face Book is too big for it's britches , it should be broken up ! Mark Zuckerberb is a jewish Hitler !

Zuckerburg needs to be removed from office and replaced with someone who actually cares about being a good corporate citizen.

coward

That’s rich! Who’s going to conduct this “review”? What criteria will be used to determine impartiality, AND, what steps will be taken to tag problems in the future? Is he faking, or does he truly believe he’s impartial? Both are unacceptable. Now what?

I’ll believe this when he censores impeached and even more if he permanently restricts that useless account, until then may the fall of Facebook coincided with the removal of impeached

The review process in its entirety:

Could it be Zuckerberg expects Trump and GOP will lose in November?

Heard that before Zuck

How long can it take to review one set of rules for the biggest advertizer and another set of rules for everyone else?

which is his way of not actually doing anything but trying to get people off his back.

Double faced...

Sucker burg says social media shouldn’t be fact checking to stopping free speech. Yet takes down all the pictures of naked people. Seems 2 sided to me 😂

Suck on it !!! Mr.Z

This guy is an hypocrites.

So glad I closed by facebook account. No regrets whatsoever. FacebookWalkout DeleteFacebookNow deletefacebook

Nobody gives a fuck about facebook anymore, it's the new myspace.

this dope is a billionaire it must be a joke

Bl...y should .Show some respect for the social media community and stop sitting on the fence moron

🤦🏻‍♂️👎

Golly, Facebook are finally being forced to admit they are content providers not a neutral platform. They are going to finally have an editorial policy for their junk posts and posters. This should hopefully wipe this pestilential parasite from the internet.

I'm ready to tell family & friends I'm ditching FB. Cue their friendly judgement in 3..2..1.. 😁

Spineless

Zuckerberg, Trumph, Putin = 3 some

Mark Zuckerberg is the Susan Collins of social media CEOs

It's not the time to promise, it's the time to act.

Review- weak as water

Fuck Zuckerbot and Facebook The internet's trailer park

Must be tricky having to put up with the digital intelligence communities various demands/practices nation by nation, social media is a nefarious thing, not much wide knowlage of some influencing practices.

Can we get the API back? OMG

For Mark Zuckerberg: Profits Character. Moral Principles. Values. Ethics. Virtues.

POS SELLOUT TO HUMANITY.

Zuckerberg sat in Congress and lied. He is lying now too. Facebook is like a cancer on the world. Facebook deletefacebook

The idea that anything will change (until there is a new administration to suck up to is absurd. DeleteFacebook

Delete your Facebook account!

zuck does not like tweeter fact-checking trump 😬 zuck is wrong ✋🏼 because fact-check is an effort to make 'truth prevail..' which is what 🇺🇸 founding fathers taught. 🙏🏼

Guess he just wants to pacify his employees. Fake news, insinuation of hate & violence against minorities are some of their core business segments driving their bottom line.

He cannot be trusted, he hire many people from CCP to be facebook management and censor many post that unfavor to CCP. He speaks for freedom of speech, it is a joke.

✊🏾✊🏼✊🏻✊

Liberals hate free speech. Truth destroys them.

Yea you punk a$$

Censorship is here to stay. The USA is gone.

Why doesn't Zuckenberg go play with his computers, and let someone with a brain run facebook?

Promise are meaningless. What’s happened to “fact-checkers” hire but refuse to use due to Trump....

Ummmmm we shall see

facebook everyone sees through this token PR effort

Zuckerberg needs to step down and hand to someone more responsible.

Only care about $$$$

At least somebody's going to read the policies

Break it up like AT&T!

Performative and meaningless gesturing for optics and spin. End of story.

He’ll fold like a chair

Sure he would

Fuck that guy

Cancel Facebook

He’s a Racist too

Never trust this guy

As a matter of record, I have already designated taking the entirety of Murdoch’s, Zuckerburg’s and Musk’s assets as damages under the settlement agreement, The Declaration of Liberty or Death. Loyalists to the coalition of Civilized Nations will lose everything they have. -API🌅

Hahahaha😂😂😂😂😂

Lol, can I eat my personal data, Facebook, or has that also been stolen and/or traded away? If that request is too difficult, i suggest swinging the vote in Serbia against candidate number 1, thanks!

He promises? Wow, that's a done deal then. For sure.

16 years and we have not learned that FB can’t be trusted

I'll believe it when I see it happen. trump seems to have bought him.

Just step down, kiddo. There’s good ppl at market to run ur business. Go to charity.

يجب طرد هذه العاهره اخت الشيطان TawakkolKarman

That doesn’t mean crap

Been there..... done that

In reality, Congress ought to be legislating what is considered hate speech and speech that foments hate and prejudice. I understand Zuckerberg's concerns from a business perspective and efficency perspective. However, a line needs to be drawn. I think Trump crosses the line.

fakebook wants Donald Trump to get re-elected he is helping him just like he did back in 2016. DeleteFacebookNow

I wouldn't dare say anything bad about Z personally, but in light of certain Facebook policies, it's not irrelevant!!!

Another review Blah Blah Blah

Time to make this right facebookcomplicit

Whatever

A rEvIeW

Can he give an explanation about the role Facebook played in Myanmar when the rohingya genocide how did they helped killers

No he’s not Zuckerberg is trump ass kisser just like the rest of the republicans remember he got a break this year with taxes and im pretty sure Hitler reminds him of it every times he talks to him he’s a coward like the majority of republicans

Oh, now?

Facebook staff oppose free speech FreeSpeech Facebook

Facebook has an army of people looking at content. But it has damaged their brains, PTSD is the diagnosis, because of that they need damages paid. May have to go offshore to find people tough enough to state at peoples content. Millenials gone berserk?

Big deal, whitin 200 days you're done. 👋$👋

Is this guy human or a ROBOT?

Stalling

Nothing like making a website to rate hot girls, only to see it taken over by Nazis, conspiracy theorist and ignorant geriatrics.

That's good

Here is what will help Zuckerberg see clearer a Big Fat Vat tax and Fair Taxation. He has been profiting off our data, I Demand My Data Dividend Check now

About time

Do the right thing! Facebook

Zuckerberg change into a politics umpire.

I propose a Blue Ribbon Committee It will take a 12 months or so. Or take the Twitter approach, he can have temper tantrum and un-follow the NYT as they published a piece written by a sitting Senator duly elected by the people of his state.

DeleteFacebookNow DeleteFacebook

Too late, you have already shown your true colors

Tiny mob coming Mark

That review will show that it's not in their financial or political interest to amend any policies.

We've heard that from him before. Facebook is a cess pool of misinformation, pseudoscience and racisim.

Don’t get zucked into this charade. He won’t follow through on this. Do not believe him!

Unbelievable wait wait I’ve seen this before a kiss ass promises. $FB is fluttering out of it’s own existence.

Boycott Facebook

A mí me interesa más su política de robo y venta de datos...y el tema de pago se impuestos en el país que genere....sigamos con las tonterías para distraer a la masa....

I'm sure the findings will be released AFTER the election.

He’s gonna fold like a chair

Puhlease! I don’t trust this guy any more. I stopped using Facebook.

I wonder if he will sucontract the review to an independent third party like the daily stormer?

Either censor conservatives or we have a hissy fit! Don't cave to the mob dude, they are anti-liberal, masquerading as tolerant.

Their would be a no 'Content Reviews' if it had been against innocent ppl of Palestine, Kashmir & Yemen.
