"The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) this week invited Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to host a public conversation about removing extremist content from the platform. The group extended the invitation following Zuckerberg's commitment earlier this year to host a series of 'public discussions about the future of technology in society.' Mark Wallace, the head of CEP, called on Zuckerberg to participate in a meeting with with four experts on extremist content. 'Facebook needs to work with experts if it wants to rid its platform of extremist materials,' Wallace said in a statement Tuesday. 'Individuals at CEP are experts in the policy and science behind online content moderation which can help Facebook better understand how to combat this threat.' 'We would welcome the opportunity to engage with Mr. Zuckerberg directly and transparently to the benefit of Americans who many times are the targets of extreme content inciting terrorist acts,' he added."
