Employees of facebook are now criticizing Mark Zuckerberg with stamps on facebooks political speech policy, this comes after some of trumps tweets were fact checked on twitter and most recently the Parent Company of snap chat which is Facebook Says it would stop promoting the president s account talk about the big changes on social media adjoined by mike isaac, thank you for joining us here on mornings on 2. I know that you were in and listening to the call that Mark Zuckerberg had, how does it go . After a week of real turmoil zuckerberg had an emergency question and answer session and his point being that he really wanted to explain the position that facebook had, why they are not taking down any of the president s post on the network. It was pretty tense and to his credit, he allowed the employees to sort of directly question him and put their concerns to him on video chat, on air. But, a lot of his responses were basically in line with the idea that it didnt break our terms of service and basically on twitter they led to violence or Voter Suppression and that zuckerberg, even though he personally found his rhetoric distasteful and really uncomfortable, he felt he needed to keep the post up on the network. Mike, how important is it that these companies are not regulated but they could be, facebook, twitter, social media companies, they could be the same as the telephone and now those are heavily regulated. Do you think that regulation is coming and you think that Mark Zuckerberg is afraid of that and therefore hes just doing this . Totally. I think that facebook, pretty much all of facebook comes with the background of is is going to get is regulated or do we need to worry about it . And theyve been treating, i would say theyve been treating conservatives pretty delicately for the past 4 to 5 years, particularly because, obviously the republicans told the white house and the senate and now with everything zuckerberg does in every decision that facebook makes, the lurking thought is, is the right going to crack down on us and try to break us up and pursue a doj investigation . And you know, i think at the end of the day, zuckerberg does believe in what he is saying in terms of i believe we should not be arguing with free speech and more speech and not less speech on our platform is better. But, theres always the subtext coming behind in the question for me is whethebeyond this exe that trump just put out, which is legal scholars what about facebook cannot agree over the snapchat platform, not to promote the president snapchat which, i was today years old when i figured out that the president had a snapchat account but i digress. So, what you think about the company not promoting his snapchat . I think what youre seeing right now is a lot of dip companies interpret the rules differently. And i think the difference with facebook is they will go out of their way, this is a point many employees have made, they go out of their way to continue moving cold post, further and further back for the president in particular and at the end of the day they rely on the standard of newsworthiness, if the president said in its worst out of posting, and altered on the network, and i think a lot of people are finding that lacking especially snapchat where the ceo has spoken out pretty critic we of the president s rhetoric and particularly of what black americans are going through right now. Sofound this president is not meeting the standard for that network and its really an interpretation of how the president is abiding by the rules and whether they should give him an exception not just because of his position.
