At Facebook's all hands meeting happening right now, Mark Zuckerberg called yesterday's event's "an insurrection." He says he is appalled. He mentions that he is ashamed at how white rioters were treated versus Black protestors earlier this year. This thread will follow the call.
Zuckerberg passes call off to FB execs Monika Bickert and Guy Rosen. FB will be removing posts celebrating yesterday's events. Much of this stuff isn't new and was announced Weds. They're continuing to call the block on Trump's accounts "indefinite" at least thru inauguration.
Bickert: "I am very confident that we have made the right decisions here."
VP of Integrity @guyro says FB was operating its election operations center this week because of the Georgia runoff election. He's saying the co was monitoring the events that were unfolding.

(If that was the case, why did they continue to allow these groups to organize on FB?)
Rosen now commending Facebook's "hard work" in getting systems up and running, and for the team getting in place to act yesterday. He is suggesting that Facebook acted promptly and appropriately.
Rosen: "I know yesterday every minute seems like an eternity. But I can assure that all your colleagues were working very hard."
To those asking: No, Facebook did not invite me to listen to this call. Lmao.
Right on cue, Zuckerberg announces changes to the Q&A format. It is now being led by someone from the Facebook comms team and the questions are pre-recorded by employees. This is the company moving away from internal transparency.
It's worth noting that Zuckerberg and his executives have not once mentioned the "Stop The Steal" or secession groups that organized on Facebook's platforms ahead of Wednesday's insurrection.
