SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees on Tuesday that he stood by his decision not to challenge inflammatory posts by U.S. President Donald Trump, refusing to give ground a day after staff members staged a rare public protest.
On Friday, Twitter Inc affixed a warning label to a Trump tweet about widespread protests over the death of a black man in Minnesota that included the phrase"when the looting starts, the shooting starts." Facebook declined to act on the same message, and Zuckerberg sought to distance his company from the fight between the president and Twitter. He maintained that while he found Trump's remarks"deeply offensive," they did not violate company policy against incitements to violence.One employee, who had tweeted his dissent on Monday, posted on Twitter his disappointment with Facebook executives.
Timothy Aveni, a junior software engineer on Facebook's team dedicated to fighting misinformation, announced on Monday that he was resigning his position.
