Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted his decision not to act on Trump’s posts inciting violence on George Floyd protesters hurt the public perception of the company

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted his decision not to act on Trump’s posts inciting violence on George Floyd protesters hurt public perception of the company, as tensions came to a head during an 85-minute meeting with employees on Tuesday.KEY FACTS

On Tuesday, he told employees the company would address employee concerns through a seven-point plan that includes: better communicating how and why internal policy decisions are made, including more diverse voices on policy teams, and consider new labels for distasteful content that falls short of violating content policy.

But employees who spoke to Newton say they think Zuckerberg fears his employees turning against him, based on his facial expressions and tone. “No one thinks he gave a single real answer,” one told Newton.

Stay strong Zuckerberg!

If we all stopusing Facebook. His wallet will tell him the truth.

We are appalled by Facebook's inaction and lack or response and action to President Trumps's statement and threats to shoot people. We need to boycott Facebook and close our Facebook Accounts. I deactivated my Facebook account earlier today, please join me. Sharon

Antitrust. Antitrust. Antitrust.

Cudos to him, for not following Twitter and SNAP!!! Facebook's perception in whose eyes, those lunatic liberals who are creating chaos in the country with their fake news.

No S$ Sherlock.

I have the strong belief that Mr Zuckerberg benevolent attitude toward Mr. Trump is strictly consequent to the attitude, engagements and support of WH to the Israel's plan to annex Palestinian territories

If he will keep silence about the beginning, that is not the answer. If he will say fraud, he can have fraud charges. That social network way innovation never was for him. He should pay or quit, remove that package.

The perseption was damaged years ago when you sold data to anyone including the CCP, allowed you’re Marxist employees to edite content in swaying elections and taking support from George Soros. I got off this platform 3 years ago. It was easy! You need to be regulated.

Facebook hypocrites allow video of killings of ppl yet are upset over a Facebook post by Trump.

Mark, we will place a law that Facebook or Mark can no longer do business in America. Please this is your chickens coming home to roost.

I deleted the app. It hurt. I had a lot invested from a relationship with friends and family perspective, but I’m not supporting a platform that supports political and societal misinformation bots/groups/speech. I’m using Twitter now thanks to their CEO.

Facebook is a insignificant socialmedia site which fad is passing becoming obsolete an outdated being used for GOSSIP and promotion of the worst cultural and civil habit affecting society today.

fuck him

He still doesn't get it? To him all these is a reputation management exercise, not a human rights issue. It says a lot about the company he keeps. I'm glad I left face-book for a heart-book 5yrs ago, and never looked back.

Does $$ qualify this person to have immeasurable influence over what and how America receives its information, shouldn't all businesses be required to put forth honest, accurate info, at least to the best of their ability?×

He should’ve done that before realizing it cost some impact on the company’s perception. Isn’t the violence incited by the president enough to know that this kind of speech isn’t suitable?

Facebook

Owned by US Govt. He has no free will.

Facebook's reputation has been going down the pan for years now, what's new?

For impartial observers: ALL words and statements from anyone count with potential diverse interpretations. The corporate🇺🇸US media know very well this fact.

Too bad for him...

Don't you say But mark how he did not say it was a bad decision, he doesn't regret it one bit. He's just worried about earning less millions.

No shit

facebook and twitter both have the rights to make comments, the disgusting part about facebook is that he think twitter should not have the right.

Nope! just one more dot in a long line of dots connecting Facebook to realDonaldTrump as a propaganda machine and extremist protected playground.

Wooooooow the robot is actually dumb.

This guy is a piece of shit. 🖕🏽

Yes, it was Trump's fault that thousands of lawless savages began ransacking cities for Jordans and flat screens. Just like it's Trump's fault for these animals killing black cops. How about the criminals take responsibility for once. And no, I'm not a big Trump fan but my God.

No it exposed him as a very rich worthless excuse of a human being.

using FB now less than ever, thinking of getting rid of it all together. for this punk to act the way he does, I really hope he goes down in flames

His only concern is regarding perception of his company vs what is right/wrong, or minimally upholding his company’s own terms and conditions. This speaks to a lack of integrity - it’s not simply perception.

Yea, it's hard playing an ethical human... BEING, I mean, being... obviously.

guy is a tool

But in fact he supports trumpathetic ideas

The perception of FB has been hurt, for years, it's basically just a cyber landfill🤣

Mark. You’re. Canceled.

Well according to the text, at least some fb workers are hurt. Who are them?

No Mark it didn't change our perception of your company or you. enablerforhire

Mark is Trump without plenty hair!

DeleteFacebook

Yes. But he still chose to not do anything about it. What happened to you Mark? You used to be an activist or so I thought. 🤔

People use it in spite in the fact that it’s zucks fb. He’ll always be a goofy nerd

Operative word perception as perception is everything for zuckerschwein

For the love of God, can we stop talking about Facebook. Why do people still even have that app.

If i did not rely on it to keep in touch with family and friends, I would delete my account. But for some, it is the only way to communicate and share. I wish there was an alternative.

Really tho

Bye Mark, we don’t give AF about what you have to say anymore. Don’t back peddle now!

Well if any one can tag president realDonaldTrump .

Maybe he should have consulted the people he stole Facebook from on how to deal with Trump inciting violence. Cuz he’s probably lost on what to do.

Nu?

Twitter keeps blocking me for nine hours but his guy is killing me softly with his white privileged markzuckberg

MZ:They Trust Me?!😂Dumb Fu*ks!

Ya think?

I am no longer using FB for any purpose

This is still a thing? I thought it went the way of AOL, MySpace and TheGlobe.

Also, why did Zuckerberg take down the Lincoln Project political ad? Who is he working for?

I don’t think it lost credibility now to be honest.

Fuck him.

Don't blame MZ. It's on us. If we stay on FB we are actively contributing to such decisions. Delete your account after sharing final post: I leave due to MZ policy. As a side effect, you will earn some time back to do more meaningful, healthy things.

You bet it did. I'm working on deleting the many groups that I've supported on Facebook. I won't be part of lining someone's pockets who supports the most corrupt president that we've ever had. facebook

Boycott Facebook!

Show me were he incited violence on protestors,maybe the criminals looting, and committing crimes

That’s all he cares about, public perception? How about doing the right thing and not giving a platform to violence and racism?

Too little too late. Kind of like Minneapolis

FreeSpeech

If you report a post you get a message from fb that they do not have enough people to review all reports. That is how he is dealing with it....by not acting on any posts. So I am just hiding or just reporting as spam any questionable posts including all fb promoted ads

Doesn’t matter. He’s doing what is right.

Dear , Zuckerberg did well. The deplorable Dems have hijacked the protests for political reasons.

Hold those receipts

Trump owns him !!

if you want FREE SPEECH censored, move to China.

No it did not hurt the “public perception” of the company, it revealed the hidden agenda of the company.

Already cancelled my FB account

That's the only downside to him? Jesus Christ, what's going on in that head of his?

He admitted that it hurt the public perception of the company but he did not say that he regretted his decision.

He's a wax figure, can't trust

He’s worried about the public perception? Can he get more shallow and vacuous? Incredible.

Not smart when you have double standards. People with common sense can see through this. Difference of freedom of speech vs incite violence are too different things. All users should have same rules, president same as homeless.

I’m sure he cares about public perception lol

Sounds like you violated the Terms and Conditions our Community Standards. Mute him Restrict him

You mean 'more than ususal?'

assholian punk

Boycott fb. Remove Zuckerberg!

Yep. It was my tipping point to finally deactivate my account and delete the app.

His worried about the company's image? Glad he is looking after the shareholders.

The fucken Communist media won't be happy until Facebook bans all conservatives.

I thought harvesting private data and giving them to third parties had already hurt the public perception of the company.

boycottfacebook boycottinstagram

No it didn’t.

Zuc you r a gd flip flopper. Watch fb stock roll down the hill.

Trump is the best thing to happen to the black race in America since slavery ended!!!

Zuckerberg is an idiot!

LOL - ZucBot doesn't care. The Facebook formula is easy: Casual user posts something FB doesn't like, taken down Someone pays to post political hate speech, FB doesn't care and leaves it up.

Oh you Noticed I Deactivated my Account. I didn't know you cared. Black Lives Matter Suckerberg.

That's why they admitted Facebook . Biased

Hopefully Zuckerborg adjusts his programming. Robots aren't racist, algorithms are.

But those accusations were lies. So turns out it helped him to keep his mouth shut. FacebookWalkout

George Floyd died, it was murder, we all agreed with that action, the cop was wrong. But, I will not agree with all these Black Violent Rioters killing police, beating store owners into ICU, killing innocent people, no I won't agree with that. I support Law and Order!
