Some background

Some head of content made a post defending not enforcing the rules on trump. Trump made a post that incorrectly stated how registration for mail in votes work in california

They wrote 8+ paragraphs of nonsense, starting with "we have seen some upsetting videos, [..] we hope it spurs change" However, even though we know this post clearly violates our community standards, we're going to allow it, because well, he's trump.

Then the post about "looting and shooting" which also violates the community standards as well:

> Statements advocating for high-severity violence; or > Aspirational or conditional statements to commit high-severity violence

The post came out, and people were already pissed off, knowing that something they were working on was partially responsible for the ratcheting up of violence. Twitter had given facebook cover to enforce it's own rules. but the management "team" chose not to.

Zuckfuck then said "I'm going to spend $10mil on an indulgence" "stop hassling me, I'm not going to give in to employee pressure." (paraphrase)

Then the head of HR made another long rambling post devoid of content along the lines of: "zuck has spaffed $10m on un specified charity for the black people what more do you want [..] blah blah blah freedom of expression"

The management keep on banging on about "private companies shouldn't censor" If you have a set of community standards which are plain and well written, enforce them equally.

Whats in them is up for debate, but we haven't got that far yet, because we seem to be allowing any politician to say what they like (from either side of the debate)

THey don't seem to have noticed that the media have always been deciding what to publish, ever since thomas paine was wafting around being his annoying autistic self.
