臉書創辦人祖克柏宣誓將和查理周刊受害者占再一起,捍衛言論自由/祖克柏臉書
國際中心/綜合報導
法國「查理週刊」辦公室遭到伊斯蘭教激進份子血洗,引起全球關注,眾家媒體無不出面「力挺查理」,譴責暴力,誓死捍衛言論自由。今日(9)臉書創辦人馬克·祖克柏(Mark Zuckerberg)也透過自己的臉書聲援,表示「絕對不會讓恐怖份子危害臉書上的言論自由」。
祖克柏表示自己曾遭到巴基斯坦極端分子的威脅,揚言要將他處以死刑,只因臉書拒絕了有關穆罕默德的貼文。然而祖克柏表示自己堅決不退讓,因為不同的聲音-即便有些具冒犯性,都能讓世界變更好、更有趣。
祖克柏認為臉書自始都是人們向全世界傳達觀點和想法的地方,遵守各個國家的法律,但絕不讓單一國家或是特定團體決定人們能分享什麼訊息。
祖克柏表示絕對不會讓這類事情發生在臉書上,自己也致力於打造一個免於暴力恐懼、可以自由發言的平台。
最後祖克柏表明自己和《查理周報》受害者同在,也和法國及全世界擁有相同理念的人同在。
以下為祖克柏臉書全文:
A few years ago, an extremist in Pakistan fought to have me sentenced to death because Facebook refused to ban content about Mohammed that offended him.
We stood up for this because different voices -- even if they're sometimes offensive -- can make the world a better and more interesting place.
Facebook has always been a place where people across the world share their views and ideas. We follow the laws in each country, but we never let one country or group of people dictate what people can share across the world.
Yet as I reflect on yesterday's attack and my own experience with extremism, this is what we all need to reject -- a group of extremists trying to silence the voices and opinions of everyone else around the world.
I won't let that happen on Facebook. I'm committed to building a service where you can speak freely without fear of violence.
My thoughts are with the victims, their families, the people of France and the people all over the world who choose to share their views and ideas, even when that takes courage.
