Pandemic + George Floyd Murder + Facebook Walk-Out

This is a turning point for Facebook. A line in the sand has been drawn and Twitter will be on the right side of history. Leaders of three civil rights groups said they were “disappointed and stunned” after a call with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and COO Sheryl Sandberg about the company’s decisions to maintain posts by President Donald Trump, as reported Tuesday June 2 at 10am. In those posts, Trump addressed recent protests over the killing of George Floyd while in police custody, in a post on both Twitter and Facebook Friday may 29, saying, quote: “Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”end quote. Twitter flagged the tweet with a warning that it violates the company’s rules about “glorifying violence,” but Facebook took no action on the post. -CNBC
