The outrage at Zuckerberg started after Trump published an inflammatory post on the platform about anti-racism protests, warning that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” The phrase originated with a combative Miami police chief threatening the young, largely Black, people involved in the civil rights movement in the 1960s…

Zuckerberg also revealed that Facebook will review its policies on monitoring posts that could create confusion about voting or suppress voter turnout. He cited a hypothetical newspaper article warning people about COVID-19 risk if they go to the polls as an example of the type of post the company would monitor.
