Or maybe the Facebook Oversight board has authority to oversee what should be removed or not amplified? Come on, we all switched to teaching online as best we can with one weeks notice—and Facebook’s oversight board cannot hold an emergency meeting now?https://twitter.com/oversightboard/status/1266736657509875718 …

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.

Because I don’t think a boycott is the answer or, more importantly, plausible. Facebook is important exactly because it’s also useful and even essential—and depending on where you live, often without an alternative. I will write longer about this soonish.https://twitter.com/eric_weinberger/status/1266755988893380615 …

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. Also, much less incendiary posts *do* get taken down all the time on both.https://twitter.com/teddyschleifer/status/1267325559584899072 …

The idea that Facebook is hostile to conservatives is absolutely not true. This is a typical top 10, though usually Breitbart does very well as well. https://twitter.com/kevinroose/status/1267466861416861697 …

Facebook is not hostile to conservatives or extreme right-wingers, case zillion. Owens is known for saying "If Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine. The problem is that he wanted—he had dreams outside of Germany." https://twitter.com/kevinroose/status/1268563336079085569 …

I imagine that quote was taken out of context as it often happens in media

She responded to rep Ted Lieu later saying it was taken out of context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YRyw70anaw … I don't think anyone in their right mind would publicly justify Hitler as that would be the end of their career

Replying to @baidildayeva @zeynep
The full context makes it worse. She was basically saying Hitler would have been fine if he was truly a nationalist, and his problem was that he was imperialist. Basically ignores the whole holocaust thing and also the fact that nationalism is often at the core of imperialism.
