Mark Zuckerberg has promised that its company will review content policies after facing severe backlash from his own employees for keeping US President’s controversial posts.
In a letter to employees which he later posted on Facebook, Zuckerberg acknowledged that his decision to not take action against Trump’s “When the looting starts, shooting starts’ post left his employees enraged. “The decision I made last week has left many of you angry, disappointed and hurt. So I am especially grateful that, despite your heartfelt disagreement, you remain focused on taking positive steps to move forward. That can't be easy, so I just want to say I hear you and I'm grateful,” he wrote.
“We’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,” he added.
Thousands of Facebook employees opposed Zuckerberg’s decision to keep Trump’s controversial tweet. One of the employees even resigned from the company and took to Facebook and wrote stating that the company "will keep moving the goalposts every time Trump escalates, finding excuse after excuse not to act on increasingly dangerous rhetoric."
