Facebook Inc. Chief Executive Officer Mark Zuckerberg said the social network didn’t put warnings on U.S. President Donald Trump’s posts about demonstrations in Minnesota because they talked about potential government military action, which Facebook users need to know about.

“We think people need to know if the government is planning to deploy force,” Zuckerberg wrote late Friday on Facebook. He said Trump’s posts didn’t violate the company’s policies.
