According to an extensive article-profile published by The New Yorker, the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, would have made the decision to eliminate the profile of Alex Jones, the person in charge of Infowars (a medium dedicated to disseminating different information related to theories conspirators not proven) influenced by the previous steps taken by Apple in the same sense.
Apple's decisions can influence Facebook
From 9to5Mac it is pointed out how the text published by The New Yorker shows that "Apple's decisions can influence Facebook". The head of this social network, Mark Zuckerberg, reserves the last word in crucial decision-making for the company. And in one of these decisions, perhaps one of the most controversial they are causing, his decision has been motivated by what Apple had previously done.
Last July, Facebook took action against Alex Jones and Infowars after receiving numerous pressures after the spread of certain conspiracy theories. However, as Chance Miller observes on 9to5Mac, it was a very mild punishment, limited to the deletion of four of Alex Jones' videos and the temporary suspension for a month of his account, and this despite the continuous requests to his permanent ban.
A week later, Apple announced the recall of five Infowars podcasts due to its alleged hate speech. Soon after, Facebook announced its ban on Alex Jones on the social network. Now, Zuckerberg admits that the decision was influenced by Apple.
Zuckerberg explained that Facebook does not prohibit people unless they "directly incite violence. " When Apple made its decision, Facebook was considering what to do with Jones' older posts, in the wake of growing concern from users.
