Facebook rebellion? Zuckerberg alienates staff after REFUSING to censor Trump’s warning to looters as Twitter HIDES its twin
Employees at Facebook are annoyed at CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s refusal to act against President Donald Trump, sharing their dissatisfaction with his decision online for all to see.
Grumblings amongst the employees were heard at all levels of the company, with the main criticism being aimed at Facebook’s decision to leave Trump’s post allegedly “glorifying violence” untouched, even as Twitter hid the same text behind a warning.
In his May 29 Twitter thread, Trump first decried what he called “a total lack of leadership” in Minneapolis, before proceeding to unload on “THUGS” that were “dishonoring the memory of George Floyd.” The part that Twitter took issue with read “when the looting starts, the shooting starts” and was interpreted as a threat to looters and rioters.
The tweet remains accessible “in the public’s interest,” but only after a user clicks on a warning message covering it.
Doing nothing” with this message on Facebook was not acceptable, fumed Jason Stirman, a member of the company’s R&D team and the former chief executive of the “mental training” app Lucid. He added that he was “not alone inside of FB. There isn’t a neutral position on racism.”
Andrew Crow, the head of design for Facebook’s Portal video-phone, tweeted: “Giving a platform to incite violence and spread disinformation is unacceptable, regardless who you are or if it’s newsworthy.”
Censoring information that might help people see the complete picture is wrong. But giving a platform to incite violence and spread disinformation is unacceptable, regardless who you are or if it’s newsworthy. I disagree with Mark’s position and will work to make change happen.
— Andrew (@AndrewCrow) June 1, 2020
On Friday, Zuckerberg explained why he felt the post should remain, even though he sees it as “divisive and inflammatory rhetoric.” Whilst Twitter had read the post as an incitement to violence, Zuckerberg decided that it was merely a warning to protesters that the police would be shooting at them — thus breaking no rules.

PARSCALE: Twitter Censors President Trump But Not Communist China? Something Doesn’t Add Up
It’s happening again. We always knew it would and President Trump is acting on behalf of the American people.
Silicon Valley, along with the Washington political establishment and mainstream media allies, are pulling out all the stops to take down the greatest threat to America’s ruling elite — President Donald Trump.
Make no mistake — President Donald Trump sits in the Oval Office despite the establishment forces united against him in 2016, and his enemies have been singularly focused on removing him from office and silencing his supporters through intimidation and censorship.
Now, Silicon Valley is partnering with the Washington political establishment and biased mainstream media “fact checkers” to try and coat their political activism with a layer of pseudo-journalistic credibility.

Florida Police Chief Urges Community to Use Guns Against Looters Breaking Into Homes
Earlier on Sunday, the US National Guard was put on heightened alert in 15 states and in Washington DC, as several of the protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd evolved into violent rioting with buildings and cars set on fire, windows smashed and violent police confrontations with protesters gathered in front of the White House.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd encouraged residents of the Florida community to use guns in the event of violent looting and people trying to break into their homes. During a press briefing on Monday, he outlined that "the people of Polk Country like guns, they have guns, and they're going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded".
“And if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns. So, leave the community alone", Judd said, according to the New York Post.
Judd promised to "hunt down and lock up" any violent rioters who "engage in any criminal conduct", as reports from a local Fox News TV affiliate suggested that rioters could bring violence to Polk County. Judd insisted that there is a difference between a protester and a rioter, and warned that the latter would be dealt with harshly.
Amid fears of rioters bringing violence to neighbourhoods, a local state of emergency and a curfew were issued in Polk County on Sunday, and extended to Monday.

Daughter of NYC Mayor de Blasio arrested at violent Manhattan protest – reports
As New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio calls for peace to return to his city’s streets, it appears that his own daughter might be part of the problem. She was arrested for protesting in Manhattan, according to reports.
Chiara de Blasio, 25, was taken into custody on Saturday night after the NYPD declared an unlawful assembly at 12th Street and Broadway in Lower Manhattan, police sources told the New York Post.
She was reportedly cuffed for blocking traffic and refusing to disperse.
A law enforcement source told the Post that the area was a “hotspot” where police cars were torched and scuffles broke out between demonstrators and cops.
While being booked, Chiara didn’t disclose that she was the mayor’s daughter, but she did give her address as the mayor’s residence on the Upper East Side.
It’s believed that she was arrested about an hour before de Blasio gave a press conference at which he expressed appreciation for peaceful protests, but stated that it was “time for people to go home.”
She was issued a desk appearance ticket – an order to appear in court for arraignment – and released. City Hall declined to comment when contacted by the Post, and the mayor has not yet commented on the report.

Biden Campaign Won’t Say If It Has Addressed Staffers Who Donated To Pay Bail For Rioters, Looters
More than a dozen staffers working for Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign have donated to pay bail for those arrested while protesting and rioting against George Floyd’s death, but the campaign didn’t say whether they’re going to do anything about it.
Biden condemned rioters and looters Saturday and called for an end to “needless violence.” At least 13 of his staffers have donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, however, which pays cash bail for those arrested in the state.
When the Daily Caller asked the Biden campaign whether it would do anything about its staffers making the donations, they did not respond.
The campaign appears to have been supportive of the effort, however, with spokesman Andrew Bates telling Reuters that Biden opposes cash bail as a general policy.

Trump says to send 'thousands' of troops, police to US capital's streets
US President Donald Trump on Monday said he was deploying thousands of "heavily armed" soldiers and police to prevent further protests in Washington, where buildings and monuments have been vandalized near the White House.
"What happened in the city last night was a total disgrace," he said during a nationwide address as tear gas went off and crowds protested in the streets nearby.
I am dispatching thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers, military personnel and law enforcement officers to stop the rioting, looting, vandalism, assaults and the wanton destruction of property."
He denounced "acts of domestic terror" after nationwide protests against the death of an unarmed African American George Floyd in police custody devolved into days of violent race riots across the country.
"I want the organizers of this terror to be on notice that you will face severe criminal penalties and a lengthy sentences in jail," Trump said as police could be heard using tear gas and stun grenades to clear protestors just outside the White House.
He also called on state governors to "deploy the National Guard in sufficient numbers that we dominate the streets" before heading on foot for a photo op at the riot-damaged St. John's, the two-century-old "church of the presidents" across from the White House

Nike is facing a new wave of anti-sweatshop protests
Nike is one of the business world’s shining examples of how to clean up an image: In the 1990s, the company was plagued by reports that it used sweatshops and child labor. Pressure grew until 1998, when Nike cofounder Phil Knight publicly committed to changing the company’s practices, and Nike spent the next decade doing just that.
Now, Nike’s sweatshop problem is threatening a comeback. On July 29, students and activists around the world participated in a day of protest against Nike, organized by United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS). The demonstrations, in cities such as Boston, Washington D.C., Bangalore, and San Pedro Sula in Honduras, represented an escalation of allegations against Nike that have been slowly bubbling up.
