Did Mark Zuckerberg lie to Congress?

Flagged, this doesn’t seem like it will promote a good discussion.

I followed the link to the tweet and it argues with a single word, “exceptions”.

I looked for the original context and found this article with a fuller quotation https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2020/10/28/mark-zuckerb...

<<< Citing a previous tweet by Trump in the midst of racial justice protests last spring, Markey asked Zuckerberg to commit to immediately remove any Facebook posts by the Republican president that encourage violence after election results are announced.

“Senator, yes, incitement of violence is against our policy and there are no exceptions to that, including for politicians,” Zuckerberg replied. >>>

In the full context, it appears to refer to “incitement of violence”. The twitter thread appears to confuse that with depictions of violence by showing a quotation for a “newsworthy exception” for a video of a Israeli soldier killing a Palestinian.

Obviously, these aren’t the same thing.

Edit: also, the existence of a “newsworthy” exception is not a surprise. It’s publicly posted on facebook’s website and has been since 2016. https://www.facebook.com/communitystandards/introduction

Does he give a shit? Yea right. Who is going to hold him to account at this point? No one.

Yes he did
