New community Guidelines
Because of the internet, the world has become a global village, we are not only involved socially but physically as well. In the letter, Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged that sometimes Facebook put foot in the mouth on policing user content, and reveals that how the company speciously got hold to susceptible issues like Black Lives Matter and police violence that must be put down. “This has been painful for me because I often agree with those criticizing us that we’re making mistakes,” he writes down. Zuckerberg stated he’s thinking to change the community guidelines as an outcome.
Voting via Facebook
Zuckerberg discussed thoroughly about civic engagement, especially poor voter turnout around the globe. He wants to stick that. Facebook has already pumping up the people to register and vote and he declared that about 2 million people are registered now to vote in the U.S via Facebook. “We hope to eventually enable hundreds of millions of more people to vote in elections than do today, in every democratic country around the world,” he marked.
