Is there a special filter or manual curation process for the comments at the bottom of Zuckerberg's posts?

From my skimming through the first 30-40 comments, they're uniformly positive. I find it hard to believe that any internet forum open to public commentary would have that many positive responses.

"Zuckerberg relies on a team of at least 12 people to delete harassing comments and spam from his page while an additional team manages his communications and writes his posts and speeches, Bloomberg reports."

Purely conjecture but I wouldn't be surprised if Facebook has an automatic curation system that will escalate content to human observers based on some kind of priority queue. Zuckerberg posts which are essentially PR moves? Priority: 1.

I wonder if he doesn't even realize it, thinking instead that Facebook and internet communities as a whole are entirely positive to him and his company (despite the fact that he inevitably spent time in the grunges of the internet in his earlier days).

Now that would be an interesting side coding project -- auto-filter the fluff from Facebook comments.

I used to subscribe to Zuckerberg's posts, and the comments were hilariously consistent. Uniformly positive, and approximately 80% of them were people asking for jobs at Facebook.

I think it's just garden-variety selection bias in this particular case. Only a certain subset of users subscribe to Mark Zuckerberg's posts and I'm guessing most of them view him favorably.

Doesn't rule out your theory though.

In the same way that nobody is allowed to heckle the Pope or the us president Facebook won't allow negative feedback for their boss.
