Overheard: German Government Wants Facebook To Censor Controversial Speech

Last weekend, world leaders met at the U. N. 70th General Assembly, arguably ‘the greatest political show on Earth.’ Among these world leaders was Mark Zuckerberg. That’s right, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was present at the event and was reportedly overheard talking about censorship with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
In this new era when Facebook sponsors presidential debates with Fox News, Mark Zuckerberg is an influential figure who should not be underestimated. According to a report from Bloomberg, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was overheard pressing Zuckerberg about ‘how his company is progressing in efforts to curtail racist posts.’
She spoke to Zuckerberg about the issue during a live transmission broadcast as people took their seats at the U. N. assembly, and he responded by saying, ‘We need to do some work.’
