This election season seems to be giving Mark Zuckerberg a lot of headaches, largely because of his steadfast commitment to not censor anyone. One of his biggest problems stem from Donald Trump’s many acid-ridden tirades, including one where he said to ban all Muslims from entering the U.S. Apparently, some employees took issue with this and threatened to quit if he didn’t have the posts removed.
The storm of controversy has been rumbling within Facebook over the course of the last year ever since Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency, The Wall Street Journal reports. Trump is known for his vindictive activities on social media, including his many Twitter feuds, but his participation on Facebook is less well-known.
Apparently, this did not stop things from heating up within the social media company, where employees have been having intense debates regarding Trump’s racist posts. Those who were for the deletion of the posts cited Facebook’s rules related to hate speech. When it came to enforcing the company’s policies, however, Zuckerberg opted to simply ignore it.
The Facebook founder thought that their highest priority during the campaign season was to keep things fair, which meant that the social network has to keep Trump’s posts up even if he personally disagreed with them. Zuckerberg also alluded to certain damning implications if the social media site started appearing politically biased, which would have been bad for business.
Going forward, Facebook has promised that it will work more closely with news experts with regards to the content that they are going to be pushing through their Trending funnel, The Inquisitr reports. The company also made some changes to their method of screening news materials, putting an emphasis on newsworthiness instead of sticking to their standards.
Basically, if users want to read the content, it doesn’t matter if it’s against Facebook’s standards. The site will still let it through.
