Mark Zuckerberg distances Facebook from Twitter in Trump fight, says it's stronger on free speech than other tech firms

Firstpost  

“We have a different policy I think than Twitter on this,” Mark Zuckerberg told Fox News. Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg took pains to distance his company from Twitter and its fight with US President Donald Trump on Thursday, as the White House moved to scrap a law protecting social media companies. Both sites take down content that violates their terms of service, but Facebook’s approach, he said, has “distinguished us from some of the other tech companies in terms of being stronger on free expression and giving people a voice.” While Facebook does apply labels to misleading posts, it exempts from review posts by politicians, a decision that some lawmakers and presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden say helps lies to flourish online. — Donald J. Trump May 29, 2020 Twitter Chief Executive Jack Dorsey said Trump’s claims “may mislead people into thinking they don’t need to register to get a ballot” and hit back at the White House for pinning the decision on a mid-level Twitter staffer. This thread explains why: — Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ May 27, 2020 A Twitter spokeswoman said that senior executives, including Dorsey, had approved the decision to label Trump’s tweets.
