#5At 3 paragraphs (131 words), that was a really short article. However, I agree with the subheading: "Mark Zuckerberg says employees shouldn’t have to confront social issues in their day-to-day work unless they want to"
That sounds good to me. I've never had to talk about these kind of things at work. Are there work places where this is unavoidable?

Especially since they presumably use FB for internal discussions... Why not use the same (weak) moderation mechanisms everyone else has? Not like you can avoid politics on your regular feed.

I think the point is that employees that are taking advantage of free speech within the workplace are forcing others into the debate unwillingly, and this is causing strife and resentment.
I applaud the move.

#8How about bringing the same rules to the wider FB? I just want to look at baby pictures and connect with friends. I don't want to be part of a machinery that spreads misinformation and conspiracy theories.

I just got done reading this[1] and it's becoming harder and harder believe the idea that Facebook is just pro "free speech". Their actions aren't meeting their words at all.
