Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced new content policies for the platform, including tighter restrictions on advertising and labels for 'harmful' posts from public figures, following an advertising boycott campaign. Zuckerberg said in a Facebook Live video on Friday that the company would begin labeling 'harmful' content from politicians that remains 'newsworthy'. Twitter has already slapped warning labels on some of the president's tweets that it deemed abusive or threatening, and unlike Facebook, Twitter banned all political campaign ads. On Thursday, Verizon joined others in the Facebook boycott. Mark is setting a very dangerous precedent for other voices who would say similar harmful things on Facebook.'
