Link to tweet

?s=20

Sen. Blumenthal: “How many times is Steve Bannon allowed to call for the murder of government officials before Facebook suspends his account?"

Zuckerberg says doing so would not be consistent with Facebook policies: "That’s not what our policies would suggest that we should do."

(and no, I've heard it all about how you aren't getting your news from FB and block the ads so you are not complicit and after all, it is oh so convenient to stay in touch with friends and family).

That is hardly the point.

If not, I don't really disagree with Zuckerberg here.

I mean I hate Steve Bannon and Zuckerberg just as much as the next guy ... but if he didn't do it on FB, it's really not their business (other than taking down all links to his murderous statements that others post)

If he DID, then of course this is bullshit ... but I don't know either way.

Twitter permanently suspended an account belonging to former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon after he suggested Thursday morning that Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI Director Christopher Wray should be beheaded. His comments were made in a video posted to his Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter accounts.
