ZUCKERBERG! Steve Bannon HAS VIOLATED ENOUGH policies to be suspended from Facebook.

“We have specific rules around how many times you need to violate certain policies before we will deactivate your account completely” Zuckerberg said.

What a fucking joke. @facebook is a cesspool that deserves every bit of regulation that’s coming https://t.co/8ZkQ1PzQWy
Regardless, Facebook should be over-referring cases right now, while the Board's jurisdiction is so limited, and leaving it up to the Board itself to decide what cases to take. Otherwise it is still holding the reins too tight.
