Zuckerberg: 'With the potential for more rallies, we're watching situation closely'

Better late than never I guess



Mark Zuckerberg says Facebook is doing the best it can to both be a place where everyone can share their ideas and also feel safe.

Right now — with emotions running high days after white extremists violently clashed with counterprotesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, leaving one woman dead — that's a painfully delicate task.

And it's one that Zuckerberg admits Facebook won't get right all the time.

"It's important that Facebook is a place where people with different views can share their ideas. Debate is part of a healthy society," Zuckerberg says in a post he published on his personal Facebook page Wednesday night.

Just think what you and FB could have done to limit the fake news about Bernie, about Hillary and the "glory of tRump*"... yeah, I know views and clicks count, and that's really what you're all about.

Nazis and racists use Facebook to conspire, organize and spread their hate and violence. Zuck is not obligated to facilitate that. I hope he shuts them down.
