Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg has defended his controversial decision to leave up President Donald Trump’s posts about the Minneapolis protests on the social media platform. Trump’s post on Friday in part warned, “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
“I know many people are upset that we’ve left the President’s posts up, but our position is that we should enable as much expression as possible unless it will cause imminent risk of specific harms or dangers spelled out in clear policies,’’ Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Facebook later Friday.
While the posts remained on Facebook, Twitter flagged one of Trump’s tweets with the same content as “glorifying violence.”
Wrote Zuckerberg: “I’ve been struggling with how to respond to the President’s tweets and posts all day.
