Zuckerberg Leaves Racial Justice Leader Frustrated After Call

So are social media companies a platform or are they editorialized?

Let's say we decide to go to war with China. Should Facebook censor anti-Chinese content? Should it censor anti-war content?

I think there are some things that are objectively censor worth (child pornography) and then there is a lot of gray area. My question to Facebook employees who oppose Mark's viewpoint is: "What is your solution and how do you prevent Facebook from censoring anything you don't agree with?"

How about advocating violence or harm to others?

Wouldn't that be ok in war time?

What if I say "You should defend your property from criminals." That's advocating violence.

What about advocating for late-term abortions? A huge portion of the US feel like that is harming an unborn human being.

What about advocating for the death penalty in states where it is legal?

I don't see how you could objectively make censorship judgements on this kind of speech.
