Zuckerberg: specialists in ID-ing dangerous posts couldn’t see the danger in openly calling for armed vigilantes because they were looking for “symbolism and innuendo”
Mark Zuckerberg on why posts soliciting armed vigilantes in Kenosha were not taken down:
“It was largely an operational mistake,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s because the team that enforces our policy against dangerous organizations is a specialized team that is trained to look for symbolism and innuendo … and understand the details of how certain militias and conspiracy networks operate.”
So they were so attuned to “symbolism and innuendo” they couldn’t see the danger of OPENLY CALLING FOR VIOLENCE????
Jesus Fucking Christ.

If you are cool w/ hate as long as it's profitable, you're worse than racists: you're the guy who sold rope to Night Riders, but too cowardly to actually slip it over someone's head & pull the other end.https://t.co/XBEL0hh8fi
