Facebook to review policy around threats, use of force: CEO Mark Zuckerberg

CNBC's Julia Boorstin reports that FB CEO Mark Zuckerberg will review company policies around threats and use of force. With CNBC's Melissa Lee and the Fast Money traders, Guy Adami, Tim Seymour and Dan Nathan. Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Facebook would consider changes to the company’s content policies after being criticised by users on its policy to not flag controversial posts by US President Donald Trump which led to hundreds of employees participating in a virtual walkout. In a blog addressed to his colleagues, Facebook’s boss said, the company would be more transparent about its decision-making on whether to take down posts, review policies on posts that could cause voter suppression and would also look to build software to advance racial justice. There are seven areas where Facebook will focus on initially. ‘Based on feedback from employees, civil rights experts and subject matter experts internally, we're exploring the following areas, which fit into three categories: ideas related to specific policies, ideas related to decision-making, and proactive initiatives to advance racial justice and voter engagement. I want to be clear that while we are looking at all of these areas, we may not come up with changes we want to make in all of them.’ said Zuckerberg.
