Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg addressed the growing unrest among the employees over the poor handling of controversial posts by US President Donald Trump
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Saturday tried to address growing unrest among the employees over the poor handling of controversial posts by US President Donald Trump, saying the company has started a workstream for building products to advance racial justice.
Several current and former Facebook employees have criticized Zuckerberg’s inaction over controversial posts from the US President on glorifying violence, calling him to start fact-checking world leaders and labeling harmful posts.
In a memo, the Facebook CEO said that he believes his platforms would help “overcome racial injustice in America and around the world”.
“I stand with you. Your lives matter. Black lives matter,” he stressed.
The memo comes at a time when Facebook employees have slammed Zuckerberg for not taking action on posts by Trump in the wake of the death of African-American George Floyd.
