      Don't let Zuckerberg peddle a 'free speech' line unchallenged. @Facebook DOES NOT have substantively different policies from @Twitter. It just doesn't enforce them. If Facebook was such a defender of free speech, why not let people speak anonymously or use pseudonyms? THREAD pic.twitter.com/dwJHRPEeET

      Very unusual for Facebook to have no comment on anything these days. 17 hours or so in and the company has nothing to say about Trump's "looting" "shooting" posts on Facebook and Instagram.

      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Oversight Board

      So if I understand this correctly, Facebook’s new oversight board, which doesn’t have the authority to investigate what should not be amplified for instigating violence, will start working sometime too close to matter or after the US election? Convenient. https://twitter.com/oversightboard/status/1266736657509875718 …?

      There are many significant issues relating to online content that we recognize people want the Board to consider. We're working hard to set the Board up to begin operating later this year so it can start considering cases referred by users and Facebook.

      I have complicated thoughts about an oversight board for Facebook, but if they do not hold an emergency meeting right this weekend, I don’t think any of my complicated thoughts matter because the board clearly doesn’t matter. I’m not wasting my brain cells analyzing vaporware.

      Trump and Zuckerberg just had a phone call "described by both sides as productive." Meanwhile, Trump's "shooting/looting" posts remain up on Facebook. Zuckerberg also made sure to go on Fox News to say he disagreed with Twitter putting a warning on them.https://www.axios.com/trump-facebook-zuckerberg-phone-call-d8d1016e-4e17-4906-b4f4-dc3e5c00bca7.html …

          The “looting and shooting” post is still being amplified by Instagram and Facebook, following the mutually “productive” phone conversation between the president and Facebook’s CEO.
