Zuckerberg says Trump’s “shooting” tweet didn’t violate Facebook’s rules

• Twitter tagged Trump's statement as a violation of its rules on violence, which Zuckerberg took a jab at.
• "Unlike Twitter, we do not have a policy of putting a warning in front of posts that may incite violence because we believe that if a post incites violence, it should be removed regardless of whether it is newsworthy, even if it comes from a politician."

What else he's saying: "Although the post had a troubling historical reference, we decided to leave it up because the National Guard references meant we read it as a warning about state action, and we think people need to know if the government is planning to deploy force," Zuckerberg writes.

• "Our policy around incitement of violence allows discussion around state use of force, although I think today's situation raises important questions about what potential limits of that discussion should be," he added.

• Zuckerberg points out that Trump qualified his first tweet by saying he meant "looting leads to shooting," which he said he did not want to happen.

What they're saying: Top public comments on Zuckerberg's post lauded him with praise for explaining his position as well as criticism and accusations of Facebook spreading misinformation.
