Don& #39;t let Zuckerberg peddle a & #39;free speech& #39; line unchallenged. @Facebook DOES NOT have substantively different policies from @Twitter. It just doesn& #39;t enforce them. If Facebook was such a defender of free speech, why not let people speak anonymously or use pseudonyms? THREAD

If Facebook was such a defender of speech, why have community standards at all? Why state that "We remove content that glorifies violence or celebrates the suffering or humiliation of others because it may create an environment that discourages participation."

Zuckerberg& #39;s continued & #39;free speech& #39; rhetoric is deeply disingenuous. Facebook has a sprawling set of international content moderation guidelines, the political implications of which @unc_citap documents here: https://citapdigitalpolitics.com/?page_id=2508 ">https://citapdigitalpolitics.com/...

@Facebook rhetorically would like you to believe that it has different policies from @Twitter, but the difference only lies in the latter& #39;s choice to enforce what is already clearly on the book regardless of the political ramifications.

@Facebook sits and watches (and even encourages) the president challenge the right of a private company to make its own decisions about political speech. This is dangerous. The First Amendment protects platforms from government. @Facebook should stand in solidarity with @Twitter
