Mark Zuckerberg says Kenosha post did not violate ‘call to arms’ policy

(Reuters) – Facebook Inc Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg told U.S. senators on Tuesday that a page which posted a “call to arms” during protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August had not violated the company’s “call to arms” policy.

“My understanding is that that post did not necessarily violate that call to arms policy at the time,” said Zuckerberg, referring to the Kenosha Guard’s calls for people to “take up arms” and defend the city from “evil thugs.”

Muslim Advocates Executive Director Farhana Khera said Zuckerberg’s testimony directly contradicted what Facebook had told civil rights organizations about how its “call to arms” policy applied to the Kenosha incident.
