Hi GG and listers. Whilst I simply cannot condone what Trump is doing on social media I'm just curious who has the moral responsibility to censor some of the more inflammatory utterances? Does #BigTech have any moral authority to censure us? Do Third-Party Platforms have the right to do this? Does the government? Why not extend this to the mad man in the village spewing conspiracy theories and telling the village headmen that contrary to all comments about his clothes, he's actually walking naked. The world has ignored Net Neutrality to its own detriment. Time to revisit this conversation?

Disagreement came from employees at all levels of the company, including some senior staff. Particular criticism was levelled at Zuckerberg’s personal decision to leave up <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/may/29/facebook-trump-twitter-social-media-us?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other> the Facebook version of a tweet sent by Trump in which the president appeared to encourage police to shoot rioters. By contrast, Twitter hid the message behind a warning <https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/may/29/twitter-hides-donald-trump-tweet-glorifying-violence> .
