Timothy Aveni, the former Facebook employee who quit over CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s handling of President Donald Trump’s posts, gave his first interview to CNN this week and warned “we’re in danger.”
In an interview that aired on “New Day” Friday, Aveni explained, “I’ve seen a couple times now that Mark doesn’t uphold his principles. Zuck has told us over and over that calls to violence would not be tolerated on the platform, even if they were from the President of the United States, but on Friday he decided to do nothing in regards to the president’s post.”
During a question-and-answer session with employees on Tuesday, Zuckerberg defended the company’s decision to not censor or label Trump’s recent posts — a decision Twitter took the opposite stance on.
