Mark Zuckerberg publicly promises to re-examine Facebook's rules on posts related to state violence
CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the company is taking a number of steps to reconsider how it polices its platform.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has publicly promised to re-examine the social network's policies on state violence after an unprecedented week of protests across the US — and among Facebook employees. In more than 300 cities, people have taken to the streets over the last two weeks to protest racism and police brutality after the death of George Floyd in police custody. Trump responded on social media that "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" — a phrase with racist origins that Twitter and Snapchat both determined violated their rules on glorifying violence.
The promise came as part of seven areas the 36-year-old billionaire chief executive said Facebook was considering. The list also includes re-examining voter suppression rules, options for responding to rule-breaking content beyond just leaving it up or taking it down, ways to add more transparency on controversial content moderation decisions, and possible structural changes at Facebook around decision-making.
