“Some of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s posts on Facebook have set off an intense debate inside the social-media company over the past year, with some employees arguing certain posts about banning Muslims from entering the U.S. should be removed for violating the site’s rules on hate speech,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“The decision to allow Mr. Trump’s posts went all the way to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who ruled in December that it would be inappropriate to censor the candidate… That decision has prompted employees across the company to complain on Facebook’s internal messaging service and in person to Mr. Zuckerberg and other managers that it was bending the site’s rules for Mr. Trump, and some employees who work in a group charged with reviewing content on Facebook threatened to quit.”
