Just logged out of Facebook... disgusted by this company!

In a democracy though you should provide the kind of information that allows its citizens to be able make an educated decision on any topic. Providing misinformation is good for nothing except leaving a bunch of people scratching their heads and asking, “what just happened?”

He has a point, ya know. We get mad when Republicans do the same thing, so you can't be mad just because he won't pick a side. He's protecting the values he knows are important to America, values he has a profound influence over. This decision is highly responsible.

He’s the worst hypocrite of them all

True. They should take away the physical phone from Trump!

Run away as fast as possible from any group who tries to limit or ban speech. RunAway

Oh gag me with a spoon. Stupid Zuck has no problems censoring other conservatives on FB and neither does Twitter. GTFOH w/ this 'democracy' crud.

It shows how far the whacky left has gone to even this leftists is objecting to them. They have secret witnesses trying to impeach Trump, holding a secret impeachment as well. Not by the full house but 7-8 far left loons conducting it all, representing just a few million people.

MarkZuckerberg should be FIRED.

MarkZuckerbeg You made lots of money on propaganda and bots and trolls hell why would you want to stop now. It is only our democracy that is at stake and obviously you are more concerned with aiding and abetting the White Nationalist. Btw had any recent meetings with Putin.

Wait what lol Facebook is all about censorship hes full of s*it

Yet he has already done so to so many others though right! How about Alex Jones, Milo and many more this guy is full of shit!

Right

What did Trump offer Zuckerberg at his White House visit a few weeks ago?

Facebook should be shutdown as it is a tool of unrest and disinformation.

Sooo, if someone tweets a hate filled menacing message that’s ok? Mark Z must be held accountable. He is a big part of the problem.

This 🤡 is part of the problem he doesn't give a damn it's all money to him and he likes 45 also! 🤔

Zuck knows that disinformation is profitable to FB. Zuck says: 'Screw your democracy, I want more money.' Zuck knows that the GOP & Putin pay top dollar for lies.

Zuckerface even has the goggles white patch from the fake tan on this picture. Looks like someone he is talking about.

Why does the Russian robot get to have a say on this?

CNN is crying and mad becuase the didnt get interview so they attack.

its too profitable

You are right 1 amendment rights for everyone not just politicians everyone should voice their opinions as long there is no threats

BUSTED AND DISGUSTED

Hey Mark Zuckerberg you don't run Twitter. We all know you are a hard-up Trump supporter. That is why you took his million of dollars to run Trump's false ads.

Fuckerberg..is Propaganda Is hate.. Is Racism.. Don't you get it.

We don’t want private companies complicit in promoting conspiracy theories, lies and propaganda.

Digital megaphone...

Zuckerberg appears to be morphing into Steven Miller; starting to look and sound like him. Using Zuckerberg's logic: I can get away with bullying, lying, threats, etc. so long as I call myself a politician. Shouldn't we hold politicians to a higher standard?

He’s 100% correct

Why is it ok to censor private citizens but not politicians?

That being said I want CNN's right to tweet

And Facebook is the face ethics, NOT!

Well Zuckerberg, welcome to the world of reason.

Its all about the 💰💰💰💰💰

I wish elonmusk would buy both Twitter and Facebook and immediately destroy them forever.
