‘Mark Zuckerberg is going to have to suck it up buttercup’
By Grabien Staff

RUSH EXCERPT:

HEGSETH: "Diamond & silk join us live to respond. I just started feeling a little unsafe. Thank you both for being here. Did they give you, I mean, I just want to let you comment on it but what rationale could they or would they give you for saying that your content is unsafe?"
HARDAWAY: "They gave us no rationale. The only thing they told us was that it was unsafe for the community, and my theory is we are two women, two women of color, so how are we and our content our brand unsafe for the community. We don’t sell drugs, we’re not laying out in the streets, we’re not thugs, we don’t belong to a gang so how are we unsafe to the community?"
RICHARDSON: "That’s right."
HARDAWAY: "It bothers me, it taints our brand, it taints us, as women, and Facebook is supposed to be an entity where they want equality for women."
RICHARDSON: "That’s right."
HARDAWAY: "Well why are you censoring two women of color, two black women? Why are you not allowing our viewers or our followers in life to view our content because you deem it unsafe and you can’t even give us an explanation as to why."
