Distinguishing Mark

While the protests are taking place on the streets, the battle to frame the protests is raging online. The Atlantic’s Zeynep Tufekci on Twitter, Facebook, and the latest executive order: “In reality, Trump’s salvo on social-media companies has primarily an audience of one: Mark Zuckerberg. And it is already working.” (It’s a combination of Zuck’s longstanding views, and the threat that a different administration could look to break up big tech.)

+ Zuckerberg has picked a side in the truth wars. His employees seem less certain. Facebook employees revolt over Zuckerberg’s stance on Trump. “Jason Stirman, who works on R&D at Facebook, said he ‘completely disagrees with Mark’s decision to do nothing about Trump’s recent posts,’ adding: ‘I’m not alone inside of FB.'”

+ The Verge: Leaked posts show Facebook employees asking the company to remove Trump’s threat of violence.
