Zaid Jilani on whether Zuckerberg is personally liable for misinformation on Facebook inciting violence

Journalist Zaid Jilani said Monday social media has played a role in contributing to divisions in the U.S., but he thinks it may be “too far” to say CEOs in charge of those companies are personally liable for inciting violence.
Jilani, in an interview with The Hill.TV’s “Rising,” was asked to respond to claims that Facebook CEO and co-founder Mark Zuckerberg should be personally liable for destruction taking place across the U.S.
Jilani said the claim -- tweeted by Matt Stoller, head of The American Economic Liberties Project, an organization that fights to break up corporate monopolies -- may have gone “a little too far,” but he added that it is “very easy to spread contempt on the internet” and to “organize people to use violence itself.”

Zuckerberg can't control everything his company does - good or bad. However, Zuckerberg in my opinion is not very smart. It appears he is easily mislead. A computer geek gone political activist with no real knowledge of politics. He relies on others to make him appear intelligent in the business world. He needs to stay out of politics before someone brings he and his company down. It can be done just look at snapchat and others. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

So, the F.B.I. can arrest the former CEO of Volkswagen Oliver Schmidt because Volkswagen cheated on diesel emissions, but Zuckerberg is somehow insulated from what his company does?

Sounds like a double standard.
