CEO Mark Zuckerberg told Facebook employees on Friday that the social network will review how it handles some of the most incendiary posts on its platform, including those by President Trump.

Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will consider labeling some posts that break its rules, rather than simply taking them down or leaving them up.Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook will consider labeling some posts that break its rules, rather than simply taking them down or leaving them up. His announcement follows a

Zuckerberg said Facebook will consider labeling posts that violate its rules, a more nuanced approach than the company's current policy, which states that posts should either be removed or left alone. It will also review its policies allowing"discussion and threats of state use of force" and its policies on voter suppression.

"In general, I worry that 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," he wrote. That decision has been widely criticized, including inside Facebook. Some employees staged a virtual walkout on Monday and one engineer publicly resigned this week.During the staff meeting, Zuckerberg fielded questions from employees who were distressed by his decision and connected it to the lack of diversity at the company, according to staff who were on the call.

Kind of slow to the draw...

Empty words

Too little....tooo late....I’m nolonger a fan or participate of Facebook......I would love to see it dismantled

This is the equivalent of Lisa murkowski and Susan Collins being troubled by trump’s behavior.

I’ll wait

DeleteFacebookNow

He can go F himself!

TrumpLied100kPeopleDied TrumpOwnsEveryDeath MURDERERinCHIEF

I don't know if he can be believed. He met with trump the traitor to see if it was okay to remove his post.

No they wont

Too little too late

Power of the people. Keep protesting and speaking out everyone.

Too little too late

$TWTR$FB

He's full of you know what!

F*** Zuckerberg. Late to the party as usual. Still part of the problem but he will “look into it”. F Facebook

Delete it until you see changes. You mean money to them and that’s your power. You mean money to every corporation. We have the power to make them or break it with our purchase power.

Welcome to 1984

They delete and flag everything I post. What a jerk this guy is.

Change is coming.

Bunkerberg says things but then ignores what he said.

No. Don't just review your policies- CHANGE THEM. Facebook

The revolution will not be on Facebook

huh oh hehehehe 🤪

I think most of us are over Facebook anyway

To me, Zuckerberg is not a fallible-but-fundamentally-good person, he’s a bad person trying to appear good

Facebook will do nothing as long as Zuckerberg is in charge. FB sells our private data and will for as long as we allow it. Never been on FB and never will

Based on the way zuckerberg acts, why do people still use facebook? He is only saying he will review because he fears his pocket will take a hit.

Too little. Too late. 😳

The review process in its entirety:

Yeah you tell us Mark how bad you going to suck up to this yellow face baboon! I thought better of you, How could an intelligent man like you even like an awful creature like the Donald! Much less support him !!!

Too little too late Suckberg.

Maybe he's losing money

what a joke this guy has been lying through his teeth for a long time now, why would he stop?

A little late.

A better idea: drop Facebook.

no body believes zuckerberg will label any of trump's post.

What is there to review? Please just call 'a spade, a spade' and do the right thing. We can all see what you are doing Zuckerberg. Also your hidden intentions are coming out slowly.

What, did he see a spike in profile deletions?

'Incendiary' meaning posts that don't agree with their socialist agenda.

Zuck is wealthy enough to hire an adult...

For someone who talks a lot, he doesn't say much of anything. I am surprised he's not a politician.

That claim Trump's comments are incendiary is incendiary.

Hmmmmmm lots of back paddling going on all over these United States.

Mark, Stick with your guns. If you reform any speech policies go over-the-top to make sure they are politically neutral. Americans must be confronted with ideas they don’t agree with or everything polarizes more and more. Speech brings people together in the long run.

Fact check!

Suckerberg

BoycottFacebook

Zuckie-boy finally got a clue - no doubt inspired by $$$$

That dude's a ghoul.

LFG

Bullshit.

why does it seem like all this MZ news is staged. by him

Making the choice easier. Trump 2020.

Shut up!

Suckerberg, fu* you!

It's a start, but I still say delete FB. Someone else will pick up the slack.

Empty, meaningless, disingenuous words.

I would never date a trump voter--and quickly, nor would I a Facebook employee. How could you possibly stand working for this asshat.

Shutting down would do the job.

I’ll believe it when I see it

DeleteFacebook

He plays games with everyone else's post except the clown in the WH .

Such a review is very long overdue.

We'll see.

Too little too late

ClaudiaBrenne Those who enable fascism are fascists.

Let the Section 230 Class Action Lawsuits begin. 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

He's a POS & folks need to terminate usage of FB immediately!

Fake. Zuckerberg is Fake. It took all this madness for this Trump minion to 'consider' how it addresses racism.

Did Zuck find his gonads? Details at 10.

How nobel of him.

Dead eyes, dead soul

Sure go ahead and review it. OR Maybe you should actually do something about it.

Eh fuck them. They have proven and over to be a platform not worth trusting to do the right thing. Stop believing the PR they're selling

Give me a break. This clown has allowed violent, radical Muslims to show their graphic Jihadi videos and he gave them free passes.

Fuck him

In other words, I need time to hire new people before I give you the boot

Mark Zuckerberg is more than likely not going to do squat about it.

He’s such a slimeball..

We will believe it when we see it. A lot of us are looking at leaving right now.

DeleteFacebookNow

I’m not holding my breath. This little punk needs to remember where he came from.

Too late Trump-coddling billionaire Republican.

Lots of people are leaving Facebook. Guess why?

WILL THEY?...

Maybe it is time to hand the podium to those who can contribute valuable suggestions to improve the situation and stop giving valuable attention to those that never will, and continue to obstruct humanity's path.

Oh the cowardly, greedy lion will scurry back to his den

fakebook is trying to get Donald Trump re-elected. They are helping him win by spreading misinformation on their platform just like they did in 2016. DeleteFacebookNow

No, Mark, definitely take your time getting this right. It's not like it has dire consequences or anything.

Review? DELETE!

He has deflected criticism with similar words in the past...actions are what matters

Oh, so Data's evil brother developed a conscience? Riiiight...

Blah, blah blah. Zuckerberg and Trump only care about one thing, me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me Oh, 1 more thing. money money money money money

Pathetic and coward

Fall to the mob once. Fall to the mob always.

I'll believe it when/if I see it.

Oh gee - thanks Mark.

Mr Zuckerberg then shot his tongue out to catch a bug. After, he crawled on the window and sat in the sun. Occasionally licking his eyeballs to keep them moist.

Blah, blah, blah. FuqZuck

Good as they should, about time mark.

Whatever. 🖕🏽

You SIMPLETON

I've never had a Facebook account, nor have I ever felt the need... So, whatever.

Too little too late my friend 😡

Only because of the backlash of people leaving FB. I’m still not going back to Facebook.

Oh Zuck sees the tide is turning and bidness as usual no longer is viable.

Boycottfacebook I erased everything off Facebook and left. Be a part of the solution, not the problem! Make the stock drop! We can make change by hitting them in the pocket book!

Crack Book.

I dumped Facebook three years ago. Haven’t missed it. If I want to know what my friends are doing I just text them and, guess what? They text me back and no Russian memes.

Too late now..keep it just like you've had it! Censoring ppl's political views that did no match yours & 45. Messing around in the last election...using the site to create & distribution of fraudulent political stories. All in favor of 45..but it's ur company...i stay off!

Bullying

And the cave in begins. Free speech to all except those I disagree with.

I’m sure pearls will be clutched. 😐

You’re gross, Mark Z. An embarrassment to humanity. But hey, you do you.

Someone feels the winds blowing in a different direction?

The rage of the liberal left...

Good

Who cares as long as he stops censoring.

DeleteFacebook

CEO Mark Zuckerberg is all about the money. He will only make decisions when he start to lose advertisers! The current government won’t embrace change. If enough people take time to buycott one big cooperation each week—change will happen!

Oh come on.

Lie after lie by the guy finkd who created Fakebook Facebook DeleteFacebookNow DeleteFacebook DeleteFakebook

Facebook is just a place for people to Pretend their life is actually as good as they make it look on there. . . pretend people like them. & inflame those that don't agree. It's a diary of lies. Liary.

LetstrumpTrump

Fuck Zuckerberg, FuckFacebook , review means nothing. He has no desire to change any of it, because he considers the chaos, hate and turmoil that he provides a platform for, 'engagement.' Engagement equals ads equals money. And that is literally the only thing that matters.

fukzuk

Mark Zuckerberg a Soviet operative

They'll put on a show for the cameras and nothing will change. Then throw their hands up and claim they tried. Not falling for the okie doke.

Zuckerberg is the Jared Kushner of the Tech world.

DeleteFacebook DeleteFacebookNow it’s not on my phone, haven’t look at it all day BabySteps

When swine aviate.

Zuckerberg needs to go away, and shut all the way up. Boy is in a bubble and can't find his way out.

They will not stop the political ad money rolling in during an election year.

moniqueblognet Bean-filled skin sac plans to have another meeting about flaccid non-action against tsunami of fascist rhetoric on his billion dollar newspaper-killer

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🌅

I stopped using FB in 2017 after they were complicit in the dissemination of false narratives from foreign players. AND...that will continue, apparently. His employees should just leave while they still have a semblance of dignity.

Too little too late Facebook!

They better start taking responsibility!

HUGE Leftist bias Facebook

Is it me or is Suckerberg starting to look a lot like Trump?

Eff him!

Well look at that, I wonder how Zuckerberg likes the little fascist bastards that work for him now?

lol you misspelled “Mark scared of a corporate takeover and needs to mend fences before he is forced out”

Let’s see what’s happening🧐

I was on FB for years and got tired of Facebook Jail mostly because their censors are stupid, or algorithms really bad. Killed 4 pages and my followers and friends. It was over FB batting for trump.

Publisher status for social networks will be impending if they want to play this game. Meanwhile decentralized networks will be there for those who want freedom of speech for me & thee.

Let’strumpTrump - do you get it? I’m trumping Trump? Anti!

Stall tactics, then he will decide to do nothing.

So, if the President uses Facebook will you fact check? Because, if you don’t, don’t worry, I will!!!

my favorite people are awakened people in a democracy

Well, well, well... a slow round of applause for this... 🤨

Keep up the pressure Facebook

Shut down Facebook for a month or two ! 😂😂

Ain’t too proud eh, Zuck? Had to cost him something to feign giving up daddy Trump. Don’t hold your breath.

My account stays deleted.

I don't care about Trump's shit. I can deal with that. My issue is the availability and proliferation of fake news, conspiracy theories, outright lies, and everything else in the name of capitalism above all else.

Ok, are they done yet. If not, too late.

Well in the words of my late Nana... 'whooptie shit' 🙄

Too little too late

Mark is going to set his greed to 9.75 from 10 and his empathy to 1.2 from 0.3.

I won’t hold my f***in breath.

“But white supremacists post baby pics on Facebook too, so we’ll see”

Too late, asshole.

That twatwaffle will “consider” it and then do nothing.

Believe it when I see it. Periodt!

More reviews, more feedback, more spinning, more double talk, more freedom of speech nonsense. Get real, bottom line, Facebook is the racism, hate, violence, conspiracy theory for profit machine. DeleteFacebook Facebook

I deleted my fb aps a month ago when I realized it was pro-Trump. Although anecdotal, my experience is that fb users are primarily Trump’s base of support here in the US. That would explain Zuckerburg’s reluctance to take a stand against him.

uh huh...sure ya will Zuckerberg...🙄

Zuckerfuckerface..

Credibility is earned not forced or bought

Soulless money grubber

Translation: We’ll pretend to care for another news cycle or two.

Uh huh

8 months from now they will complete their “review” — and change nothing

DeleteFacebookNow

More like Mark Suckerberg, amirite? Hahahahaha I hate myself. 😒

Every picture of this guy creeps me out

Yeah, ok. Suuuuuure 🤔

Pussy

FUCK FACEBOOK AND ZUCKERBERG!

I’m blown away by the amount of people ok with censorship. When it’s their team getting censored, I have the feeling their opinions will change, but by that point it will be far too late.
