Report: Facebook employees reportedly sought to censor Donald Trump

Employees at Facebook reportedly pushed the company to censor some of Donald Trump’s posts as “hate speech,” leading the company to unveil a new policy on Friday permitting “newsworthy” content even when users find it offensive.

“In the weeks ahead, we’re going to begin allowing more items that people find newsworthy, significant or important to the public interest, even if they might otherwise violate our standards… Our intent is to allow more images and stories without posing safety risks or showing graphic images to minors and others who do not want to see them,” the company said in a statement.
