George Will — yes, that @GeorgeWill: "Trump must be removed. So must his congressional enablers.” For Trump, “there is no such thing as rock bottom. So, assume that the worst is yet to come. Which implicates national security…” https://t.co/gYY0fLbOYQ — PolitiTweet.org

One thing about Facebook vs Twitter debate is that Twitter didn’t take Trump’s tweets down, either. It placed a warning label on them, which is something Facebook doesn’t do — FB’s view being that if there’s a real threat of violence, the tweet should be taken down no matter what — PolitiTweet.org

Mark Zuckerberg is fighting a lonely battle to keep Facebook as politically agnostic as possible, and he’s facing mounting criticism from his own staff. I look at the practical and philosophical goals that are motivating his thinking, per sources familiar https://t.co/BE0xD9d5I6 — PolitiTweet.org

Good point here from ⁦@ezraklein⁩ on all the 1968 / 2020 comparisons: “There was one thing the 1960s had, that we, today, do not: a political system designed to absorb conflict and find consensus, or at least stability.” https://t.co/RmGCC1kZVE — PolitiTweet.org

Zuckerberg’s agnosticism will grow more unpopular the longer the protests / the more inflammatory Trump’s rhetoric. But until Trump clearly runs afoul of FB policies, Zuckerberg is unlikely to buckle. Whatever he thinks about state of the world his ultimate fealty is to Facebook. — PolitiTweet.org
