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.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know many of you think we should have labelled the President&#8217;s posts in some way last week,&#8221;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/tags\/mark-zuckerberg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zuckerberg<\/a>&nbsp;wrote, referring to his decision not to remove&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/tags\/donald-trump\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trump&#8217;s<\/a>&nbsp;message containing the phrase &#8220;when the looting starts, the shooting starts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;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,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;We&#8217;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.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/tags\/facebook\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;would be more transparent about its decision-making on whether to take down posts, review policies on posts that could cause voter suppression and would look to build software to advance racial justice, led by important lieutenants.<\/p>\n<p>At a staff meeting earlier this week, employees questioned Zuckerberg&#8217;s stance on Trump&#8217;s post.<\/p>\n<p>Zuckerberg, who holds a controlling stake in Facebook, has maintained that while he found Trump&#8217;s comments &#8220;deeply offensive,&#8221; they did not violate company policy against incitements to violence.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>However, he added, &#8220;I worry that this approach has a risk of leading us to editorialize on content we don&#8217;t like even if it doesn&#8217;t violate our policies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/social-networking\/news\/zuckerberg-promises-a-review-of-facebook-content-policies-after-backlash-2241745\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/gadgets.ndtv.com\/social-networking\/news\/zuckerberg-promises-a-review-of-facebook-content-policies-after-backlash-2241745<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Reuters <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Reuters <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zuckerberg said Facebook would be more transparent about its decision-making on whether to take down posts.
